HUNTINGTON - UCF offensive coordinator Charlie Taaffe has dedicated his life to designing a playbook that can advance his team down the field as effectively and efficient as possible. The 61-year-old has coached quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers during a career that dates back to 1973 at Albany.

Cookie Gilchrist was running a drive-in restaurant called Uncle Tom's Cabin in Hamilton, Ont. Fried chicken was a featured menu item. It was a side-job, of course.

One day -- the year was probably 1957 -- a businessman showed up at the drive-in and made a sales pitch. He was looking for established restaurants to buy into the new franchise he was starting up. To enhance his proposal, he went into the kitchen with Cookie and whipped up a batch with his own special recipe.
