The KFC eleven test restaurant at the intersection of Bardstown Road and Baxter Avenue has posted at least part of its menu. Mounted above the registers and clearly visible from the street (no need to forgive us our trespasses, photos were taken from the sidewalk), the menu is broken down into flatbreads and salads, sandwiches, and kids sections. Prices for adult portions range from $4.99 to $6.89.

The logos on the Twitter and Facebook accounts (at right, on top) differ significantly—no barbed wire!—from the ones on the website and test store itself (at right, on bottom).

While media outlets have made much of Col. Sanders' absence in the logo, "KFC"'s presence might be the bigger problem. Panera Bread and Chipotle don't have the stigma that KFC—with or without the Colonel, followed by numbers or not—does with the clitenele this new concept is trying to attract.

Nevertheless, here are more fun facts, in slideshow form:

Louisville's health inspector scored the restaurant a 96 (A). Also, there'll be a drive thru, which is where this sign hangs.

Parking lot signs have not yet been updated with new branding.

Despite ranking 213 on the Fortune 500 list, KFC's parent company, Yum! Brands, is apparently sparing quite the expense when it comes to email addresses.
No expense, however, is being spared on the masking film covering the doors to block prying eyes.
This garish chicken resides just inside the entrance to scare your kids into eating their dinners.
