    How Crispy Express Opens In Atlanta

    How Crispy Express fits in nicely with the food establishments along Georgia Avenue, which is turning into quite the dining destination.

    What’s On the Menu At How Crispy Express?

    How Crispy Express serves just five fried chicken sandwiches on its menu:

    • Classic chicken sandwich and a lemon pepper wet version, as well as chicken nuggets and Buffalo chicken dip.

    We stopped by the joint one day about 3:15 p.m. and it was closed. If you want to try a chicken sandwich during the week, get there before 3 p.m. That’s when they close.

    As of now, the hours for Crispy Express are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

    Where Is Crispy Express Located?

    Crispy Express is located at 71 Georgia Ave SE Unit B, Atlanta, GA 30312. Here’s a map to help you find it.


     A new Atlanta restaurant, Crispy Express, has opened in the Summerhill neighborhood just south of downtown. While the eatery is still getting its footings, it’s serving some great food.

    The eatery promises tasty chicken sandwiches. It’s open from 11 am to 3 pm daily.

    Final Word

    The restaurant eventually plans to offer beer and wine, which we’re looking forward to.

    Part of the Benumkermi Hospitality Syndicate, How Crispy Express is poised for success. The Georgia Avenue food corridor could use it.

  • Superica opening new restaurant in Atlanta

    Superica Coming To West Midtown

    3 Min Read

    Ford Fry’s Superica is opening another location in Atlanta, this time in West Midtown, according to the Atlanta Business Chronicle.

    The new Superica will be on Howell Mill Road next to The Optimist, another Fry restaurant.

    Superica is one of the best places to eat in West Midtown.

    Superica Opening On Howell Mill Road

    Superica’s Tex-Mex fusion food has been a hit since it began in Krog Street Market, which is considered its home base. The eatery continues to draw a crowd, from intowners looking for some authentic fare to tourists searching for the best Atlanta bites.

    What Should I Order At Superica?

    If you visit Superica, you’ll see a menu long on interesting twists to classic dishes. Here are some standout favorites that I’ve enjoyed over the last couple years.

    Superica’s menu offers two food choices: dinner and brunch. Here are some dinner faves of mine, which I always recommend to others.

    Hamburguesa at Superica

    CHILE RELLENO crispy poblano pepper filled with corn, mushrooms, and Chihuhah cheese
    CARNITAS DE PUERCO twice-cooked heritage pork belly, tomatillo salsa
    HAMBURGUESA* (pictured) 8 oz. double meat, American cheese, chili con carne, mustard, lettuce, pickles, onions,

    MESQUITE GRILLED QUAIL served with two tamles smothered in chili con carne and cheese
    El LOPEZ two cheese enchiladas, crispy beef taco, guacamole salad, puffy tostada con queso, rice and beans

    Who Owns Superica?

    Superica is owned by restaurateur Ford Fry, a James Beard-nominated chef who’s culinary portfolio includes a who’s who of Atlanta bangers such as JCT Kitchen, The Optimist and of course, Superica.

    “I want to create restaurants that strike a timeless emotional chord – restaurants that don’t pander to trend, but draw generations of families together,” says Fry.

    How Many Superica Restaurants Are There?

    In Atlanta, there are four Superica restaurants. They are located in the following locations:

    • Krog Street Market: 99 Krog St NE, Atlanta, GA 30307
    • Buckhead: 3850 Roswell Rd NE #100, Atlanta, GA 30342
    • The Battery Atlanta: 455 Legends Pl #800, Atlanta, GA 30339
    • The Avalon:  1130 1st St #1030, Alpharetta, GA 30009
    • Ashford Lane: 1220 Ashford Crossing, Dunwoody, Ga. 30346

    Outside of Georgia, there are Supericas  in Charlotte, NC (2), and one in Houston, TX.

    Final Word

    Superica is one of Atlanta’s top Tex-Mex restaurants, but there are some other eateries in the same vein. The city is also known for its Mexican spots, especially those that serve the famous birria tacos.

    Metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene is the best in the Southeast because there’s always a new place opening up. Want to try something new?

    Delta Air Lines Just Gave Travelers More Flight Flexibility

    3 Min Read

    Delta Air Lines just made it easier for you to travel in 2022 and beyond. The Atlanta-based airline is leading the industry on giving travelers flexibility for their upcoming trips.

    The airline announced on Wednesday, January 13, 2022 that travelers that the expiration date for any travel credits you still have has been extended through 2023.

    The good news means that if you have been apprehensive about flying amid the COVID pandemic, you can push your travel plans back without worrying about losing your outstanding credits.

    Here are the details on Delta’s eCredit Extension.

    Effective Jan. 12, all existing eCredit holders will have an additional year of flexibility for rebooking and traveling. Customers will be able to rebook their ticket by December 31, 2023, for travel throughout 2024

    To make sure you don’t lose your credits, you have to book your travel by the end of 2023. More good news: The travel voucher extension is good for Basic Economy flights as well.

    What Is A Delta Voucher?

    A Delta voucher is either a printed or electronic certificate that has monetary value. These vouchers can be applied toward your airline travel.

    Some common ways that Delta vouchers are applied are for:

    • A specific dollar amount off the price of an eligible fare.
    • A specific percentage off the price of an eligible fare.
    • A specific percentage off the number of miles required to purchase an Award ticket.

    So travel vouchers are a great way to save money on your flight, hotel or rental car costs. If you’re thinking about traveling abroad, make sure you get your passport, as soon as you can.

    To save money, look for the cheapest flights from Atlanta that are on sale.  To keep costs down, use these travel hacks to save money and time.

    Final Word

    Delta is the first major airline to extend travel flexibility, but let’s see if other airlines join them.

    To Atlanta is one of the most convenient places to travel to and from. A large part of that is because Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is so accessible.

    Not only is it the world’s busiest airport, but it’s state-of-the-art in every way. If you’re interested in traveling around Atlanta via car or even on scooter, here’s what to know.

    Georgia Bulldogs Win First National Championship In 40+ Years

    6 Min Read

    On a frigid night in Indianapolis, the Georgia Bulldogs found themselves down by five points in the fourth quarter after their quarterback, Stetson Bennett, gave the ball away on an inexplicable fumble.

    But Bennett, who had yet to completely win over a sizeable portion of Bulldogs Nation, refused to fold under pressure.

    Georgia Beats Alabama, Wins College Football Championship

    “After that fumble, I told myself I wasn’t going to be the reason we lose this game,” he said in postgame comments.

    And true to his word, he wasn’t the reason the Bulldogs lost. He was the reason they won.

    But it wasn’t just him. It was Kelee Ringo, who took back a Bryce Young interception for 79 yards. It was a
    The Georgia Bulldogs finally reached the top of college football on Monday, January 10, 2021, taking down perennial power Alabama 33-19.
    A late pick-six would seal the win and give the Dawgs their first national championship since the 1980 season.
    After the game, UGA head coach Kirby Smart said he wanted the team to remember this moment.
    “I told the guys in the locker room, just take a picture of this, because I think back to the ’80 championship picture and seeing all those players and the Frank Walkers and the Herschel Walkers and all these people that have reached out and said things,” Smart said. “Our guys have accomplished that, something special, and as they say, they’ve become legendary, and I want that for them.”
    Kirby is one of only two former assistants of Alabama head coach Nick Saban to beat him. The other is Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher.
    “I love Kirby,” Saban said after the game. “I think Kirby has a lot of respect for us. He did a great job for us for a long time. If we had to lose a national championship, I’d rather lose one to one of the former assistants who certainly did a great job for us and has done a great job for his program and his team.”
    Let’s take a look back at the magical 2021 football season that would end in a championship trophy for Athens.

    Week 1: Georgia 10 Clemson 3

    On Saturday, Sept. 4, 2021, No. 5 Georgia took down No. 3 Clemson 10-3 in Charlotte. The Bulldogs defense overwhelmed the Tigers in a battle between two offenses trying to find their way in a new season.

    Week 3: Georgia 40 South Carolina 13

    The Georgia defense rallied around Doty, who threw for 153 in his first action of the season. The Bulldogs improve to 3-0 on the season with a stifling defense as they opened up SEC play.
    Let’s watch the highlights.

    Week 4: Georgia 62 Vanderbilt 0

    The No. 2 Bulldogs ran over the Commodores in Nashville, Tennessee. Georgia moved the ball largely at will, piling up 524 yards in complete domination. Vandy only garnered 77 yards as Smart’s squad improved to 4-0.

    Week 5: Georgia 37 Arkansas 0

    The No. 8-ranked Razorbacks come into Athens with something to prove as the Bulldogs face their toughest contest yet.

    Week 6: Georgia 34 Auburn 10

    Georgia steamrolled the Auburn Tigers, 34 to 10, hamstringing their quarterback, Bo Nix. Georgia’s defense set the pace early on and the offense pulled away with 17 second half points.

    Even more sweet news? Georgia was projected to move to the #1 national spot after Alabama’s loss to Texas A&M.

    Here’s what Coach Smart has to say about the team’s victory:

    SEC Championship Game: Georgia vs. Alabama

    No. 1 ranked Georgia finally lost a game, being outgunned by sophomore Bryce Young and the Alabama Crimson Tide, 41 to 24. The matchup went down on Saturday, Dec. 4, 2021 before a packed house in Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

    Georgia’s vaunted defense held up in the first quarter, but gave up 24 straight points in the second quarter to trial by 7 at the half. Bama held court for the entire second half.

    Here are the highlights.

    College Football Playoff: Georgia 34, Michigan 11

    Then came the Orange Bowl: The Bulldogs heard a lot of smack all week about how good the Michigan Wolverines were, but the rugged SEC schedule prepared the Dawgs well: Quarterback Stetson Bennett threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns as the Bulldogs ran away with the game.

    Here are the highlights from the Orange Bowl:

    This set up a rematch of the vaunted Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia. Would the Bulldogs avenge 40 years of close calls and missed opportunities??

    Yes. Yes, Georgia did that. Go, Dawgs!
