Operation: Chicken Sandwich with BB's Crispy Chicken
It's fried chicken, bun, pickle, mayo... and that's pretty much about it. But for some reason, we've all gone nuts for chicken sandwiches. And in this cloud of battered breasts and thighs emerges a concept that went high, not low. Chef driven, not robotic. And guess what...? They win. BB's Crispy Chicken out of the Triangle is truly the best of them all.
Originally created by our local and legendary Chef Ashley Christensen, BB's now stands on their own two chicken feet to bring the community a better quality option at lunchtime. Listen in as we chat with Doug Warf and Justin Simpson, the minds behind the business of BB's.
And sitting in as special guest host is Aaron Vaughen, also known as the Single Handed Chef - who just released his first podcast: THE Single Handed Podcast with our very own producer/co-host Max Trujillo.

“I'm gonna fry chicken the rest of my life” - James Beard Finalist Jamie Davis of The Hackney
Chef Jamie Davis, executive chef at The Hackney in Washington, NC recently found out he was a James Beard Award semi-finalist for Best Chef Southeast, then he found out he was a finalist. What’s next? We will find out on June 10 in Chicago for the James Beard Awards 2024.
Before then, Jamie shares his insights into his journey, from growing up in Jacksonville to his time in the military and eventually making his mark in the culinary world. We hit on the importance of acknowledging diversity in the culinary world while also hoping to get to a place where it doesn’t matter anymore. We explore the significance of community, camaraderie, and visibility in the food industry, along with Davis's experiences in Iraq and the importance of supporting local farmers.
Let’s cheer on Jamie and our other North Carolina JBF finalists as we venture to Chicago next week!
