In 2022, a group of local chefs and restaurateurs—including Fishmonger’s Nhan Le and Skip Engelbrecht—announced a forthcoming fried food spot called Small Fry. Two years later, the project is finally coming to fruition, though Le and Engelbrecht are no longer associated with it. Instead, El Malo’s Omar Ferrer, Spina Pizza’s Anthony Spina Jr., and Pollo Primo’s Duane Kulers are collaborating to bring fried handhelds to the Atlanta Dairies in Reynoldstown. Opening tomorrow at 4 p.m., Small Fry will offer baskets, sandwiches, and drinks via counter service.
