PITTSBURGH — Giant Eagle is launching a new food truck called the Fried Chicken Express, which will be hitting the roads around the Pittsburgh area starting this week.
"We took an old Maryland family recipe to make the most irresistibly crispy, incredibly juicy fried chicken available at food truck festivals, sporting activities, business parks or any other outdoor event where the taste of fried chicken would be appreciated," Giant Eagle spokesperson Dan Donovan said in a press release.
