'We don’t want to do 50 things okay, we want to do 10 things really well,' said Todd Putnam, co-owner of ChampysDaphne. 'That’s our mentality. Keep it simple.' Champy’s Famous Fried Chicken: Exactly what you’re expecting, with a few surprises 🫔🍗➡️
A simple trick of the food writing trade is to ask restaurateurs where they like to dine, when they’re able to break away from their own establishments. They’re foodies with an experienced eye for what works, so it’s no surprise that the places they recommend tend to be worth a visit.
The menu is simple but not bare. Appetizers include wings, fried jalapenos, fried pickle spears and other bad-for-you goodies – but we had been strongly advised to try the tamales, so we ordered half a dozen . Champion and his wife, Crissy, opened the first Champy’s in Chattanooga in 2009, banking mainly on a family recipe for fried chicken but also paying tribute to the Delta by including tamales on the menu. Two years later, Putnam and his wife, Erin, opened the second Champy’s in Daphne.
As the dining duo finished up the tamales, their entrees arrived. You’ll hear people say that Champy’s isn’t fast-food fast, and it’s true, but the wait didn’t seem unreasonable. “We cook to order,” said Todd Putnam. “Chicken takes 15 minutes to cook.” Later, I sat down with the Putnams to get the whole story. As it turns out, they were living in Tennessee when the Champions opened the first Champy’s in Chattanooga. They didn’t move to Lower Alabama to open a restaurant. They came to Daphne, a place where they knew only one person, because of Todd’s job in logistics required a move. Before long, the couple had decided it was time for a life change.
