Here’s a quick history on a couple of notable dishes and a few similar recipes.

• Have you ever wondered how Kentucky Fried Chicken gets that delicious golden batter just right? Unfortunately you may never know. The Colonel knew he had something special with his fried chicken recipe and kept it a secret. Who needs KFC when you have Kikkoman’s Buttermilk Fried Chicken, guaranteed to wake up your taste buds.
• We won’t make bets on the best spaghetti and meatball recipe, because we’re sure you have a family take on this favorite dish. According to The Nibble, the meatball’s place in American history began in World War I when Italian American pasta makers nearly doubled due to import restrictions. Hard times during the Great Depression popularized spaghetti and meatballs because it offered a cheap but filling meal to workers. Spaghetti and meatballs still enjoy their popularity and The Meatball Shop was recently featured on Good Morning America, securing its place in American cuisine. Our version of this Spaghetti and Meatballs uses Panko Bread Crumbs instead.
