Description
Kenny Rogers Roasters is a chain of chicken-based restaurants founded in 1991 by country musician Kenny Rogers and former KFC CEO John Y. Brown Jr., who had been an early investor in Kentucky Fried Chicken from 1964 to 1971. The menu at first offered rotisserie chicken and later included turkey, ribs, and various side dishes. With no restaurants still in operation in the United States they are still available in Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The franchise transitioned to a series of owners, now basically only available in Asia as part of Malaysian conglomerate Berjaya Corporation Berhad. It had been mentioned in a few television shows such as Seinfeld and The Sopranos.

Cruising through many states of America, remnants of eateries of the past can still be found. Travel back to a stage in time with me to rekindle the memories of food franchises and the lost cuisine of bygone days. We can remember the presence of these dining experiences in their heyday long ago, but still etched in moments and recollections.
