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 really love to try out new places. I especially love to try out new places that serve food that I absolutely love like Nashville Hot Chicken. This leads me to the next place where I was eager to try out: Daves Hot Chicken in Melrose Park. This franchise has been on my radar for quite some time. I first heard about this place a year or so ago when it was only located on the west coast. The pictures of Dave's Hot Chicken that I had seen on social media made their chicken look phenomenal.

Nothing special about this chicken. Strips are crispy but dry on the outside. The ghost pepper seasoning is a joke it's not even spicy. Just not worth the price and servings. Would recommend other chicken places before Dave's

And the Caroline reaper is not extremely hot, it has the same level of Fry the Coop mid-tier hotness. For a website to advertising a need to sign a waiver for that level of hot. Extremely d... read more
