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.

Ordered the 2 slider w/ fry combo. Medium and hot. So good. Our favorite combo. It was crowded and a lot of to go orders. If you want a seat/table,, come early.

Amazing chicken sandwich's! Chicken is fresh and tasty! Dining in is a no for me, tables are sticky and atmosphere needs some work, but I just get food to go and it's the best.

Ok. The chicken is good. Not great. But you can get it is a rainbow of spice levels and that IS great. If you want that. The plain is just too plain. I had expected some southern flavors. But no flavor at all was what I got. Medium is just about the start of spicy. Mild is too light to even taste. Hot was getting there! I am not sure very hot will be over the top but the Reaper level sounds dangerous! The Mac and cheese was very underwhelming. Pasta was not Al dente and the cheese was just plain velveeta! $6 was too much for... read more

I've been seeing EVERYWHERE. We'd drive by this place a few times and would always see this in IG when it first came out.

We decided to get the sliders in a bowl with extra coleslaw.. one medium and one reaper. Surprisingly, the chicken was NOT dry and tasted super juicy! I also loved the sauce it came with because it did compliment the chicken really well. I think in terms of sp... read more
