Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken

[CTAmeshopper]

Anybody else remember this terrific chain? They used to have locations in Torrington and Waterbury. The last time I remember being in one was way back in either 2001 or 2002 right after the 9/11 attacks. Their chicken was delicious even better than KFC's. I miss them dearly.

Looks like they're still around somewhere:

The map that came up with the locator focused on St Louis, MO and showed several pins there.  Trying to zoom out seems to show them focused in that part of the country.  The search is kind of hard to use.

Also from:

it appears that the founder is a nephew of Colonel Sanders.

They used to have one in Cincinnati, but it closed (after being there for 20+ years) due to a Chick-Fil-A being erected next door.  They demolished it, and an eye care store is there now.

I did see another Lee's somewhere else in Ohio, though.
