TO LIVE AND FRY IN L.A. In 2017, four childhood friends came up with a simple concept - take Nashville Hot Chicken and make it better than anyone else in America. With only a couple thousand dollars to their name, they boot-strapped a pop-up concept in a parking lot in East Hollywood serving a simple menu of tenders, sliders, fries, and kale slaw - they created a viral cult following with lines consistently over an hour long. THE JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opened their first physical store in January 2018 in a sleepy strip center in East Hollywood. Demand for their crave-able hot chicken exceeded all expectations and sales have grown every month since opening with consistently long lines throughout the day.

15 minutes for two chicken tenders is crazy. You guys need to hire people who are less lazy and more competent. I will never be coming back to this establishment again I could've gone through five...

The service was great here. It was first time eating here and I enjoyed how fresh and warm food came out. The chicken part was spicy and crispy. Slushy next time I will pass on.
