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.

We've seen Dave's hot chicken everywhere in LA but we're in SLO when we decided we'd give it a try for the first time! YUMMY flavoring, I think this is officially my favorite place for chicken tenders! even after sitting in the box and cooling, the chicken stayed nice and cripsy ---extra hot chicken tenders: I could handle this level but my stomach was pretty much ON FIRE afterwards so I think I'll go with hot next time!

Placed a mobile order for pickup earlier this week. When I got there Jolene was already packaging it up. She was friendly, totally on top of things, and nothing was missing from my order. I got the chicken strip box. The strips were fresh, hot, and crispy. The spice level I picked was just right. The crinkle cut fries were also fresh and crisp. Make sure to get extra Dave's sauce for dipping. My husband got the sandwich box and ordered a side of coleslaw to top his sandwiches with. It was a good flavor combo.
