Family includes KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut.
Pizza Hut is an American pizza chain. Founded in 1958. Currently 6,000+ locations in the United States and 5,100+ locations in 94 countries worldwide, including exactly 150 in the Philippines and 334 in Korea. Famous for American-style pan pizza, though different types of crust are also on the menu.

I’ve always hated Pizza Hut. When I moved back to Korea in the mid-80s, during middle school, it was the only pizza chain that had yet to set up shop. But even as a teenager starved for American culture/cuisine, I avoided Pizza Hut. I didn’t like the crust: not only unpleasantly greasy but also with a distinctive nutty flavor. Ugh. As far as I can recall, I haven’t had it since then.

30 years later, it was as bad as I’d remembered – how about that for sense memory.

My personal trainer has me on a diet that allows me to eat anything, but reduced to 75% in volume. So, I can eat Pizza Hut, so long as I don’t finish the crusts, which are crappy anyway.
