  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • "(SINGING) It's H. Salt Fish and Chips.

  • Fish, fresh.

  • Lightly battered, deep fried.

  • Potatoes, peeled.

  • Chip, deep fried.

  • Salt and vinegar.

  • Makes my mouth water.

  • Batter, perfect.

  • Peanut oil's 350 degrees.

  • Texture, crispy.

  • Bite into it and, oh, so good.

  • Anything that's not good for you is good.

  • Two pieces of fish and chips.

  • And don't forget the malt vinegar.

  • Making me hungry.

  • Oh, fish and chips.

  • The two notes that sound beautiful together.

  • Harmony.

  • So when you do it like that, things can be exciting.

  • Who knows?

  • May have an orgasm, if you do it right."

  • "This kindly, mild-mannered Englishman is Haddon Salt."

  • "I always felt that I was an American.

  • In England, there was the bloody weather,

  • bloody government.

  • This is wrong.

  • You're always so negative.

  • The thing I love about America is

  • that this is the home of the power of positive thinking.

  • The American dream is opportunity

  • for self-employment.

  • Otherwise, you're fulfilling somebody else's dream.

  • Of course, I was in England during World War II.

  • So I remember that quite vividly.

  • Towards the end of the war, my father got into business.

  • And that was when I learned about how

  • to cook fish and chips."

  • "He took to frying like a duck to water.

  • This is my family's original fish and chip shop.

  • That's my father, a master fryer."

  • "He worked in the coal mines, the most lowly background

  • that you can have in England."

  • "I discovered early that my father's business flourished

  • because he worked hard and paid great attention to —"

  • "Quality."

  • "That's all we thought about was work.

  • That's all we did.

  • We had this big navy base near us.

  • And we had a line-up of people from the day we opened."

  • "Today is Victory in Europe Day."

  • "This was the moment we'd all be waiting for."

  • "I remembered the day that the war

  • ended, May the 8th, lives just changed.

  • Your dreams started really opening up.

  • They were closing the base down.

  • And they said, we're gonna miss you,

  • because this is the only English food that we like.

  • English food didhad a bad reputation."

  • "Hey, you know what you ought to do?"

  • "No.

  • What do you think I ought to do?

  • And he said —"

  • "You ought to sell these fish and chips in the States,

  • that's what you ought to do."

  • "Name, please."

  • "Salt.

  • Salt, what kind of name is that?"

  • "Aren't you glad they let him in?"

  • "We found a piece of property in Sausalito.

  • That was our first shop, H. Salt Esquire.

  • When you use your name, you're putting your name behind it.

  • In other words, your reputation.

  • We were selling the romance of England in our shop.

  • Wooden paneling and pictures of the tube stations

  • in London.

  • People loved it.

  • I had no idea about franchising in those days.

  • But I knew that I was gonna do something like that."

  • "He's accepted a duel with the American hamburger.

  • He is luring Americans away from hamburgers

  • to authentic English fish and chips,

  • through his family's secret recipe."

  • "When we had the professional advertising,

  • the line must have been a quarter of a mile long.

  • It was amazing, opening day.

  • From then on, we just flew.

  • We went down to Los Angeles.

  • It just spread so quickly.

  • It's contagious.

  • And so we're opening stores everywhere.

  • Eventually, wound up with 500.

  • My name was known everywhere in the country.

  • They'd say, what's your name?

  • Haddon Salt. Are you really H. Salt?

  • We were growing so quickly that I realized

  • how many components it would take to make this thing work.

  • But only if you do it right.

  • And that's the hard part, getting people

  • to do it right."

  • "This was the first service station that I had.

  • But I don't care if I had truck drivers sitting down

  • there and here come a doctor, I didn't know who he was.

  • I thought everybody could eat at the same table.

  • I didn't know anything, only to be friendly.

  • So that was my first restaurant."

  • "I admired K.F.C. as the leading food company.

  • They were ahead of McDonald's in those days.

  • When they went public, every franchisee

  • became multimillionaires.

  • Within a year, the company was worth $500 million

  • from $2 million.

  • Now, they've got all this money.

  • So H. Salt comes along.

  • I think, ah ha.

  • Now, I'd been coached before I went in this meeting,

  • because I'm not used to this kind of stuff.

  • So they said, well, what do you think

  • you want for your company?

  • I said, well, why don't we self for 25 times earnings.

  • All their faces went pale.

  • So one of the guys just jumped up.

  • He says, give me $5 million dollars.

  • He said, I'll blow this guy off the face of the earth.

  • And I said, and I want to help you buy my company,

  • if you want to buy it.

  • I said, but you can't come in here

  • and scare me into selling my company,

  • because it ain't gonna work.

  • End of conversation.

  • They all left, came back two hours later, made the deal.

  • 25 times earnings.

  • $12.5 million in K.F.C. stock.

  • Then, it proceeded to go up.

  • That was the first time that I knew how many zeros there

  • was in a million dollars.

  • They saw me as the next Colonel Sanders.

  • All my life, everything I touched turned to gold.

  • Then, suddenly, it went the other way.

  • They weren't selling chicken.

  • They were selling Colonel Sanders.

  • They weren't selling fish.

  • They were selling me.

  • They didn't really grasp what the idea was.

  • I was trying to put middle-class people into business,

  • give them the joy of self-employment.

  • They missed that.

  • They worked on me big time, but they

  • didn't work on the company.

  • They started to lower the standards,

  • the quality of the fish.

  • And so the volumes of the restaurants went down.

  • And people stopped buying franchises.

  • So that was the end of it.

  • Didn't grow anymore.

  • Well, there's still quite a few in Los Angeles,

  • but they're self-managed.

  • They're not an authentic English fish and chip shop

  • anymore.

  • K.F.C. just let them go.

  • You're risking your reputation when you put your name

  • behind something.

  • You can't walk away from your name.

  • So

  • I don't know.

  • I don't feel responsible.

  • I don't feel

  • I don't feel guilty or responsible.

  • I did sell out.

  • You might say, do you wish you hadn't?

  • I don't know.

  • But you know, life moves forward.

  • You have to keep moving forward."

  • [SINGING]
