Why take over an old Kentucky Fried Chicken? In the 1960s, KFC introduced America to the spork - the spoon/fork combo that became synonymous with fast-food culture. As our namesake, we thought we'd combine a low key, quirky atmosphere with really high quality food, single varietal wines and eclectic beers. Why not see if a multinational chain that served low quality, mass produced food could be reborn into something small, local and fresh while keeping its connection to American cuisine and history? Serving slow food in a fast food shell seemed like an interesting idea.
