Kentucky Fried Chicken (1983: Doomsday)

KFC Corporation (KFC), founded and also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, is a chain of fast food restaurants based in Corbin, Kentucky.

History
Born and raised in Henryville, Indiana, Sanders passed through several professions in his lifetime.Sanders first served his fried chicken in 1930 in the midst of the Great Depression at a gas station he owned in North Corbin, Kentucky. The dining area was named "Sanders Court & Café" and was so successful that in 1936 Kentucky Governor Ruby Laffoon granted Sanders the title of honorary Kentucky Colonel in recognition of his contribution to the state's cuisine. The following year Sanders expanded his restaurant to 142 seats, and added a motel he bought across the street.[7] When Sanders prepared his chicken in his original restaurant in North Corbin, he prepared the chicken in an iron skillet, which took about 30 minutes to do, too long for a restaurant operation. In 1939, Sanders altered the cooking process for his fried chicken to use a pressure fryer, resulting in a greatly reduced cooking time comparable to that of deep frying. In 1940 Sanders devised what came to be known as his Original Recipe.

The Sanders Court & Café generally served travelers, often those headed to Florida, so when the route planned in the 1950s for what would become Interstate 75 bypassed Corbin, he sold his properties and traveled the U.S. to sell his chicken to restaurant owners. The first to take him up on the offer was Pete Harman in South Salt Lake, Utah; together, they opened the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" outlet in 1952.[10] By the early 1960s, Kentucky Fried Chicken was sold in over 600 franchised outlets in both the United States and Canada. One of the longest-lived franchisees of the older Col. Sanders' chicken concept, as opposed to the KFC chain, was the Kenny Kings chain. The company owned many Northern Ohio diner-style restaurants, the last of which closed in 2004.

Sanders sold the entire KFC franchising operation in 1964 for $2 million USD, equal to $14,027,987 today Since that time, the chain has been sold three more times: to Heublein in 1971, to R.J. Reynolds in 1982.

Doomsday
Louisville was nuked, destroying all managment of KFC. Stores around the nation were abandoned and became over runned.

Post-Doomsday
Corbin Kentucky had a long history of KFC, being the first store. Corbin was taken under the control of local National Guard and kept to a steady pace untill help could arive. Once Fort Knox forces came into the town, the city became part of the new Kentucky Commonwealth. KFC and other loyal locals began to over ride the street with Chicken vendors. Kentucky toops brought back to Fort Knox a box of KFC chicken legs, writen on the box: " To Gen. Donald M. Campbell, we thank you, God Bless - Love Corbin ." By 2007 stores were back to normal, and having stores all across Kentucky and Southern Indiana. With radiation levels down in Louisville, Kentucky forces began to seach Louisville for items and other useful things, KFC asked the Government to find the KFC vault and take the 'secret recipe'. The vault had survied Doomsday and Kentucky forces noted that they saw burn marks over the vault showing that others had been trying to get in. Kentucky returned the recipe to Corbin Kentucky were a new vault was placed.
