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.

I am not normally in this part of California but I was in town and i had to stop by. The place is located in a shopping strip with other restaurants so parking isn't a big issue but during peak times you might now find parking closest to the restaurant. The inside looked unique and not like any other chicken place I have ever been to. Place was very clean for a well trafficked restaurant. Ordering and the Service was quick and fast.

It's fast food, so go in remembering this and it'll help shape expectations. I ordered the 2 piece tender with cheesy fries. Overall I was impressed. I got hot and used the honey to temper the heat, it was perfect. The fries I ordered extra crispy to hold up to the cheese and it seemed to work overall, they did stay pretty crispy. I was happy with my meal, I've been wanting to check it out and I'm glad I did. It's not the kind of thing I eat too often but I did not regret going.
