Seller does not offer returns. His life story—and his road to fast-food fame—includes a lot more than just chicken. When Harland Sanders first began to serve meals to truck drivers at an old family dining room table wheeled into the front of his Corbin, Kentucky, service station in , fried chicken was not on the menu because it took too long to prepare.

Food critic Duncan Hines included the restaurant in his road-food guide, and it was there in that the colonel used pressure cookers to perfect his quick-frying chicken coated in his secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices. When the future fast-food giant painted advertising signs on barns for miles around, the aggressive marketing tactic rankled Matt Stewart, who operated a nearby Standard Oil gas station. Told that Stewart was painting over one of his signs for a second time, Sanders rushed to the scene with two Shell executives.

Sanders returned fire and wounded Stewart in the shoulder. Stewart was sentenced to 18 years in prison for murder, but charges against Sanders were dropped after his arrest. Sanders, who falsified his birth date in order to enlist in the U. Army in , served in Cuba for several months before his honorable discharge.
