Presented by Her Universe, Hot Topic and DreamWorks Animation’s She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, this year’s highly anticipated show will be held on Thursday, July 18 at 6PM in the Harbor Ballroom of the Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel.
Hosted by Ashley Eckstein, the theme for this year’s show is “The Power of Fashion.” In the spirit of the critically acclaimed series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, the designs competing in this year’s show will be inspired by powerful characters, stories and themes. Many surprises are in store but the audience can expect that fashion will make a powerful statement on the runway.

June 27, 2019 – Knott’s Berry Farm had a very distinct start; it is THE only theme park that was born from food. Before the many attractions and rollercoasters were installed, the Knott family began a small business by selling berries and fried chicken to Buena Park locals.
The history of Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant started in June 1934 when Cordelia Knott served the first fried chicken dinner meal for 65 cents each on the land that is today known as Knott’s Berry Farm. To make ends meet during the Great Depression, Cordelia served these chicken dinners on her best wedding china. The success of the chicken dinners was immediate, and by 1940, visitors were standing in line for hours to try Cordelia’s famous fried chicken.
Mrs. Knott’s signature fried chicken dinner meal continues to be served with its family-style dining that includes deliciously herb-seasoned fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, tossed green salad, cherry rhubarb, kernel corn, freshly-made buttermilk biscuits with butter and boysenberry preserve; and a slice of Mrs. Knott’s scrumptious boysenberry pie for dessert. Each meal is freshly prepared by the Knott’s culinary team with the freshest ingredients. Today the kitchen serves an average of 1,000 chicken meals per day and serves a grand total of 1.5 million guests per year.
For National Fried Chicken Day, Knott’s invites guests to Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant for the opportunity to savor the tastiest fried chicken this side of the west. Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant and Knott’s Chicken-To-Go are offering a special 10% discount with the order of Mrs. Knott’s famous fried chicken exclusively on July 6th (not to be combined with any other offer or discounts). Plus, that day, guests will have the opportunity to experience unique restaurant photo-ops and a commemorative National Fried Chicken Day t-shirts available for purchase at Virginia’s Gift Shop to celebrate the special occasion.
WHEN: Friday, July 6, 2019
WHERE: Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant, 8039 Beach Blvd. Buena Park, CA 90620
