Head to place where it all started: Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant. In the 1930s, Cordelia Knott began supplementing her family's income by serving up her famous fried chicken and boysenberry pies from her husband's farm. The delicious home cooking began attracting so many visitors that they soon needed a way to entertain the queued masses, and Knott's Berry Farm was born.
