According to Wikipedia, Colonel Harland Sanders started his fried chicken magic around 1930 and the rest became comfort food history–hopefully one day Kentucky Fried Chicken [Canada] will include biscuits on their menu. Whenever I find myself in the United States, I try to hit up a KFC because the biscuits and gravy are dynamite!
A Twitter follower of mine has informed me that the Colonel’s glasses were probably Clubman Art-Rim by Art-Craft.
