Corbin, Kentucky, has long been known for its unrivaled outdoor recreation. It’s the home of the “Niagara of the South” and, more broadly, Cumberland Falls State Resort Park. But those natural wonders aren’t the only feather in Corbin’s cap; Corbin is home to the famous Colonel Harland Sanders… and the birthplace of Kentucky Fried Chicken! While the Bluegrass has long been known for its amazing Southern cuisine, the Colonel’s Kentucky Fried Chicken truly put Corbin on the map; and today, the Colonel’s restaurants can be found all over the continent.
