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 saw that this place opened and whenever I walked by there was a line out the door so I thought I'd wait for the buzz to subside before trying it out. Well, there is still a line out the door but I discovered you can order online and go pick it up, so I gave that a shot and it worked great! The two sliders and fries was a little on the pricey side at about $18 but I guess that's not too bad for midtown. I would say you will definitely get your fill with that order. I had mild, which was spicy enough to make my nose ru... read more

Chicken was well done, crispy, warm and very very filling. Their sauce was smooth and went well with the chicken. I got the "hot" spiciness which wasn't too bad but my other friends felt it was pretty spicy. Will definitely come back many more times. Wish they had more space for seating though! Also it's Halal with their certificate posted in the front.
