If you recall, there was later "Daniel Boone Fried Chicken" which soon fell through and lots of people lost their investments, including a co-worker of mine. The creator of DBFC was the Colonel's son-in-law. I believe there was a big controversy over him stealing the Colonel's secret recipe. When I was in high school, a jeweler downtown, kinda new in the community, also had his secret herbs and spices that he was trying to get patented, or whatever you do with recipes. I remember stopping in his store after school. He was very friendly with us high school kids. He told me about his secret recipe. Guess it fell through. Never heard anymore about it. And, NO! I don't have the recipe.
