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.

Really good chicken sandwich. The line gets lot really quick, so order online. The cheese fries and slaw are great.

Awesome food. I work nights and brought one of the sliders home for my wife to try. She had it the next morning and the chicken was still crispy. Extra hot wasn't as hot as I'd like but the reaper is hot hot.

Been waiting for years since I saw an instagram ad for them, but they were still only in LA at that point, across the country. It was everything I was hoping for, just so delicious, crispy, and spicy. I wish it was closer to where I am but I'm glad it wasn't because I'd be there too much for my own health.

Nonetheless, I put this on my first place to enjoy when I returned to Albany. Well, I must say it was a challenging return, not because of the flights. They were perfect, but it broke my heart seeing a... read more

please please lessen the salt on the chicken and fries. This restaurant could be so awesome if there was half less salt on the food. Flavors are great! 

Business response:

We'd really love a second chance to make this right. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie
