Sunday Savory: How Crispy Express

In metro Atlanta, where the fried-chicken sandwich is said to have been invented and turned into a fast-food empire, and in the current day, when chicken sandwich options outnumber burgers on menus nationwide, it can be hard to stand out on the fowl front. But chef Will Silbernagel’s How Crispy Express officially entered the national “chick sammy” conversation when Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives profiled the Summerhill restaurant this past summer.

Among its offerings, How Crispy serves Classic, Lemon Pepper Wet, Tikka Boi, and Vegetarian Crunchy Boi sandos that have a way of silencing mealtime conversations. It’s Silbernagel’s artistry with the Honey Boi however, that rises to the level of modern-day classic.
