The first time I ate at KFC was when I was 10 years old, and my family went on vacation to North Carolina. My dad ordered the 12 piece bucket of chicken with KFC Green Beans, mashed potatoes, gravy, coleslaw and biscuits. It was so delicious that it became an annual tradition for me to eat at this restaurant every year after our summer vacation until I moved away from home. The first thing you notice about the place is their sign which reads “KFC” in red letters on a white background.
