thanks for the clarification. I think I looked into this after writing this post and your description confirms what I read - he actually bought it from someone and commercialized it. I'll update the post accordingly. Thanks! And that's cool you guys know someone who knew them!

Actually he did not invent the berry. His friend Mr Boysen has them growing in his back yard and Mr. Knott took the plants and started growing them commercially. When he went to name them he named him after his friend who had discovered them. I know this because we have a family friend whose mother was very close with Mr. Knotts family physician. Which may seem kinda wierd but she knew the Knott family from him. She actually has a signed copy of a book that Mr. Knott had specially printed just for friends and family. So the story has not been reinvented just not everyone knows the full story.

Right, so Walter Knott invented a berry, decided to call it the boysenberry instead of Knottberry. Ever since Cedarpoint bought the farm, literally, the story has been re-invented.
And the biscuits are buttermilk. Sadly the quality of the food has been on the decline for the last 10 years.

you don't have to get fried chicken.they have a fairly large menu.I absolutely love the chicken and dumplings especially if it's chilly outside.They're served piping hot and go great w/ those biscuits.Also for dessert they have boysenberry sherbet that's delicious,I'm not a pie fan but I love boysenberrys.We come here every time we go to Disneyland,you don't have to go to the amusement park,you can just come and have a lovely very reasonably priced dinner.P.s. the best time to go is midafternoon to avoid the inevitable long line.

Uh, is that a vat of salad dressing on your two leaves of lettuce? Hah. Sorry, couldn't resist.
But you're right -- the pie looks pretty awesome.

Great history. I love fried chicken. I'm not sure I'd wait in a crazy line if it wasn't fabulous though. But at least there are rides to entertain!

Mmm those rolls look great! I want some. :)

I love love love fried chicken. And I also hate when people try and mess with it and make it fancy. So I would be all over this chicken. And that salad is absolutely drowning in dressing!
