The Jerry’s Pizza of Mark Richt’s youth is gone, but Fran’s Chicken Haven – ‘If the Colonel had our fried chicken recipe he’d be a general,’ as the window reads – has been thriving since 1964.
Richt, the University of Miami football coach, said he plans to visit Fran’s for some fried chicken this weekend when he returns to his alma mater, Boca Raton high School (Class of 1977), on Saturday for the final spring scrimmage/game of 2017.
And if his Hurricanes – especially the quarterbacks – rise to the occasion, that chicken might taste extra crispy.
