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.

Solid choice for hot chicken and tenders. I ordered the #1 medium spice and like that you order a different spice level for each tender. Had a side of Cole slaw which mellowed out the heat (medium is hot enough for me). Also ordered the #4 and the slider was delish ! I'm more of a whole fried chicken fan but when craving a quick hot chicken fix, Dave's hits the spot.

Business response:

Thanks for the great review, Danni! We're stoked you enjoyed the #1 with medium spice and the #4 slider. The slaw is definitely a perfect balance for the heat! We totally get the love for whole fried chicken, but we're glad we could hit the spot for your hot chicken craving. Hope to see you back for another tasty fix soon!

Chicken and fries always cooked right! Crispy!! Mmmmm Never let me down. The first time I ate here I ordered the reaper because I like HoT! Was a mistake!! Mouth was burning, but still tastes great. Good job on the spice level!!
