About this business

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.

5 stars. Why? Late hours, they close at 12:30am on weekdays. Customer service was pleasant. We walked in and was immediately greeted by Mo. She was cheerful and also helpful.

Overall, great encounter with Mo and good food. Will be back at midnight again.
