When Sanders decided to open a sit-down restaurant called Colonel Sanders' Dinner House, KFC argued it had bought the rights to his name, according to Adams. When he renamed it the Colonel's Lady's Dinner House, the company argued that it owned the rights to "colonel."
I don't know what it was called when I went there as a kid, but it was an amazing experience, one of the few I remember from that time in my life. Too many courses to count, it was a family style restaurant. It was a good drive from the Louisville suburbs I lived in at the time.
The restaurant was in the first floor of a house in the middle of a horse farm. Picturesque doesn't do it justice.

There are interesting arguments that it's a sort of feminist justice in the end given most of the recipes were likely Claudia's to begin with.
