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.

My food is always fresh and delicious! So excited cauliflower is back. My son does not eat meat and loves that they have cauliflower as a meat substitute.

A must have treat whenever I'm visiting Albany! I don't usually have fast food but this is my exception :) The chicken here is halal and high quality. Flavor is on-point. Online ordering makes it quick and easy to get takeout. Will be back! 

Business response:

I tried here for the 1st time while in Albany. It's definitely a cute fun space. I had one of there ice cream mixed with slush drinks was a combination of sweet and sour but tasted really good. I then had a single chicken sandwich with fries. The sandwich was a good size had a few topping which was good but could have had a bit more flavor. I got medium hot but there was no heat. I would definitely go back if in the area of one but not a need. 

Business response:

Glad you had fun checking us out! The slush-ice cream combo is definitely a unique treat. We hear you on the spice—if you’re looking for more heat next time, you might want to try hot or extra hot! Hope to see you again when you're in the area.
