How Amusement Parks Use Fried Chicken to Sell the American Dream | Eater
"Originally launched in the 1930s at the entrance to a berry farm, this restaurant helped spark a major regional attraction by serving hearty plates of fried chicken, buttermilk biscuits and signature boysenberry pies; by 1940 it was selling as many as 4,000 chicken dinners on a single Sunday. Its runaway popularity transformed the site into a full-fledged theme park while cementing the establishment's reputation for plentiful, old-fashioned fried-chicken dinners." - Amy McCarthy
