If you’re a big fan of Yogi Bear, you won’t want to miss this stop if you are ever in South Carolina. Located in Hartsville, you can get some delicious fried chicken at Yogi Bear’s Honey Fried Chicken. It was once a chain restaurant, but now there is only one location left to help you fill up your pic-a-nic baskets.

In the late 1960s, after the success of Kentucky Fried Chicken, restaurant entrepreneur Eugene Broome decided to open several restaurants. Originally, he wanted to name the restaurant after actor Jackie Gleason, but he would not approve. He eventually convinced Hanna Barbera’s team to brand the chain.
