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've been here twice. The first time I went, I was greeted by Elizabeth. She gave great food recommendations and my daughter was curious about their orange drink that Elizabeth described tasted like an orange creamcicle. She was right and my daughter loved it! I was also curious about the hottest chicken they had, and on the 2nd visit, my partner tried it out. He enjoyed it and we both personally thought the waiver was unnecessary.

The service was amazing, Vanessa was very friendly and helpful especially since I was asking a lot of questions about the different types of heat. The food is always so good and I really love their French fries. It's always a clean and well maintained restaurant, love their atmosphere there. Would recommend to anyone who hasn't had it yet.

Vanessa sounds like she made your visit even better! Appreciate you sharing the love, and we’ll keep those fries crispy for next time.
The food is always great and the service fantastic. I just wanted to leave a review. There was a new employee being trained. The employee training her was doing such a great job. Very patient. Giving her great information and teaching her some exceptional customer service skills especially if they were getting busy. The food was fantastic as well!
