Christine and Keith’s topics for today start off with President Joe Biden’s State of the Union and its effect, or lack thereof, on the restaurant industry. Despite what’s going on with the world with Ukraine and inflation, Keith shares the inspiring story of KFC’s very own Col. Sanders and the rise of fast food and automation in America.

Deep-Fry Demand
Col. Sanders of KFC wasn’t always the Colonel we love and know now. He started off selling life insurance, starting failed businesses, and only experienced success when he turned 65. Nowadays, fast food is a business venture that can bring financial benefits and success to anyone who chooses it, with chains like Wendy’s with their unique square burgers and McDonald’s with their real estate investments behind their fast food business. America gave not just planes and light bulbs, but the ever-growing fast food that we all know and love all over the world.
