Rooted in Flavor

Corbin: Farm to Fork

In Corbin, Graham’s first stop is the birthplace of Colonel Harland Sanders, where he pays homage to the country's favorite fried chicken. Corbin is now a boom town for foodies, thanks to an abundance of local agriculture. Graham explores the bounty of produce at a local farm, then meets sixth-generation farmer Kristen Smith, a leader in both farm and fork, at her restaurant: Wrigley Tap Room & Eatery. Finally, Graham heads to Cumberland Falls to hike off the calories and soak up some Kentucky beauty.
