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.

The food prepared quickly and the flavors were great. Misty took my order, made sure it was all there, and hooked me up with sauces. One of the best chicken places in Waldorf.

Food was good but lukewarm. Service was decent, but wait was real bad. 20 minute wait bad. They are more focused on on-line orders than customers inside. Many people inside standing and sitting...
