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.

Wayne, NJ - simple, laser focused menu, and aren't those usually the best? If you're looking for anything other than chicken tenders, move along. But I'm here for one thing and one thing only, Nashville hot chicken! The spice level varies from "no spice" to "reaper," and though I didn't find the reaper to live up to its pepper's namesake (to me more like a medium), the chicken tenders/sandwiches are quite delicious and flavorful. While I'm not running to come back, the food is perfectly solid. The tenders come with a s... read more
