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. THE JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

$30 for 2 people to eat which in this time is reasonable but for the 20+ minute wait time I wouldn't say is worth it. In my opinion the place is overhyped, great amount of spice however, and the fries were quite good, as well the Mac and cheese.

1) these expensive combos out included drink. 2) to you're in the south it's not that hard to make real tea especially if you're gonna charge $3-4 dollars for a drink 3) I've been to some places that ask you to tip, but it's because they at least come out and see if you need anything, or they would at least bring the food to you, hear your requesting a tip then you yell my number from the counter for me to go get my food after I've made my drink Pluses are the food is good and the portion sizes are decent.

It was an impressive meal in size -- the "slider" was about the size of a chick-fil-a sandwich. Also impressed that my super picky kid will actually eat the kale slaw that comes on the sandwiches. He orde... read more
