Kentucky Fried Chicken's sad decline began in the late 80's as they further switched menu items over to cheaper alternatives and continued to stray further from the Colonel's roots. Sagging sales due in a large part to the "low-fat" fad caused the stores to be rebranded KFC to escape the fatty "fried" image. Apparently executives failed to attribute the drop off in sales to the fact that the food was a far cry from what was available in the franchises heyday. KFC has recently began opening stores in selecting cities returning to the Kentucky Fried Chicken moniker and trying to exhibit a more "down-home" feel. These test stores are offering more side options, some served family style, and there is even whisperings of the chain possibly returning to the original mashed potatoes and gravy recipe of olde. In short, somebody began wising up and realized if the food really blows people might not buy it - unless, of course you own the airwaves and the minds of children (see McDonalds). Hopefully some of these test stores will make their way here, because believe it or not KFC used to be a fairly decent restaurant...before Pepsi owned them.
If you listen real hard you can hear the Colonel rolling over in his grave.
