Chicken In The Rough 3 Piece Pottery Set

3 PIECE CONDIMENT SET, advertising Chicken in the Rough restaurant with a golfing chicken. The set includes a 1 1/4 inch tall pitcher, a 3 1/4 inch butter pat and a 2 3/4 inch jar with lid. All with the golfing chicken logo. The "Chicken in the Rough" just passed it's 70th birthday in 2009. The moment came when restauranteur Beverly Osborne and his wife, Ruby, were trying to eat a home-packed box lunch of fried chicken while driving along a bumpy Texas road. A piece of chicken slipped from Ruby's fingers and she complained loudly, "This is really eating chicken in the rough." The grouse clicked with her husband, who realized that Americans could be persuaded to eat chicken in public the way they did at home: with their fingers instead of silverware. Although the concept of grabbing a drumstick while dining out and eating it without a fork is commonplace today, it was novel in 1936, when Osborne was struck with the inspiration. This was nearly two decades before Kentucky Fried Chicken opened its first restaurant.
