    TIL that the inventor of Korean fried chicken got his sucess via a restaurant chain called Mexican Chicken

    In 1985, he formally launched the Mexican Chicken brand — though unrelated to Mexico — and made industry history by airing South Korea’s first television commercial for fried chicken. The chain expanded rapidly, operating about 1,700 outlets nationwide at its peak.
