Lowe lacks the typical southern drawl of past Colonels, but what he lacks in accent, he makes up for in poise and natural charisma. His speech is inspiring, patriotic, and hunger-inducing.

“My grandfather was the head of the Ohio chapter of the National Restaurant Association in the 1960s and took me to meet Colonel Harland Sanders when I was a kid. It was a big deal," said Lowe. "I thought this would be a nice homage to both Colonel Sanders and to my grandfather. Plus, we’re sending the Zinger chicken sandwich to space. You kind of can’t beat that.” Read more...More about Spicy, Rob Lowe, Sandwich, Chicken, and Kentucky Fried Chicken
