Canadians road trip more than 2,000 miles just to eat at KFC
The Proclaimers have nothing on a group of six Canadians who traveled 2,090 miles to eat at KFC.
Two friends from Montreal, Quebec took their sons on a 34-hour road trip to the original home of KFC in Corbin, Kentucky. Corbin is Colonel Sanders' birthplace, as well as home to the Harland Sanders Cafe and Museum, the birthplace of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Brian Lutfy and Neil Janna thought the road trip would be a fun (and tasty!) way to bond with their families. Lutfy had visited the Harland Sanders Cafe in 1985 and wanted to return with his son.
