K&W Cafeterias

K&W Cafeterias Inc. is a Southern USA chain of cafeteria-style restaurants. Its headquarters are in the K&W Corporate Office in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. K&W serves traditional Southern favorites including fried chicken, turnip greens, fried okra, and homemade desserts.

Grady T. Allred, Sr., a founder of K&W Cafeterias, entered the restaurant business on Thanksgiving Day 1935 as an employee of a small restaurant on Cherry Street in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The Carolinian Coffee Shop was owned by brothers Thomas, Kenneth and William Wilson and their brother-in-law T.K. Knight. In 1937, the initials K&W (for Knight and Wilson) were adopted and K&W Restaurant was established.

Allred later acquired a one-third interest in the K&W Restaurant. After operating the restaurant with his partners for a few years, Allred purchased their interests and became the sole owner of K&W Restaurant around the year 1941.

The K&W Restaurant continued to flourish at the Winston-Salem Cherry Street location until fire damage forced it to close for several months. After repairs and restoration were completed, it reopened as a restaurant/cafeteria combination. The cafeteria concept of the operation became so popular and successful that Allred decided to convert the unit entirely to cafeteria style food service.

Kennedy K-W

The Kennedy K-W is an American high-wing, strut-braced, single-seat glider that was designed by Harold Kennedy of Dodge City, Kansas, with assistance from Floyd Watson. The aircraft is notable for being assembled from certified powered aircraft components and also for having had an in-flight break-up.

Design and development

The K-W glider was assembled from a collection of certified fixed-wing aircraft parts. The aft fuselage was from an Aeronca Chief, with the welded steel tubing structure narrowed from a two seats in side-by-side seating configuration to a single seat width. The vertical fin from the Chief was retained. The tailplane was from a Taylorcraft, reduced in span to 8 ft (2.4 m) to allow road transportation on a trailer. The single monowheel landing gear, wings and V-struts were taken from an Aeronca K. The wings were modified to add spoilers.

Because of its component parts heritage, the aircraft had a steel tube fuselage and wooden wings, all covered in doped aircraft fabric covering.
