Many great things are created by accident: penicillin or killer bees, for example. Ahmed Kazikian’s Fine DiningSM was also born in this manner, when scientists at AKI Labs in Rockford, Virginia attempted to cross-breed the chicken with the axe. Deliciousness Ensued.
As AK FD (not affiliated with the Alaska fire department) grew from a salmonella-ridden roadside stand to a multi-national chain of 681 restaurants and 23 theme parks, we have trodden on new ground, ground that traditional eateries have not dared to trod (on).
