Moment of Indiana History
Dave Thomas helped the owners of Fort Wayne's Hobby House negotiate a deal with Harlan Sanders that ultimately shaped the face of fast food in the US.
Drivers pulling off the Interstate for a quick meal might be induced to make it KFC, or Kentucky Fried Chicken, in the hopes of savoring a home-style Southern dinner. Although its name might inspire nostalgia for the Bluegrass State, Kentucky Fried Chicken first opened its doors in South Salt Lake, Utah in 1952. That restaurant was a franchise sold by Harland Sanders, a 62-year-old native of Henryville, Indiana.
