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.

Pleasant staff. The menu is limited. The wait time is extensive. The food is ok. We did find the design pretty cool. The graffiti walls and silly mascot outshined the food.

Knowing that, I ordered the combo #3 and macaroni and cheese. The combo comes with a tender, fries, and a chicken sandwich. Anyways, I tried the chicken tender and it was great. To explain, the chicken was juicy and crunchy with just the right amount of spice. Next, I tried the crinkle cut fries which were solid. To elaborate, the fries were crispy and seasoned.

In case you haven't had your fill of fried chicken, Dave's Hot Chicken in Albany offers the Capital Region yet another option. Dave's hails from L.A. When I read that Canadian rapper Drake was so impressed with the recipe that he invested in the company, I wanted to try some myself. I ordered online on a Saturday just before dinnertime. It was hardly an original idea, but I sure was glad that I ordered ahead. When I arrived, there was a long line to place orders. It snaked all the way to the entrance. Fortunately, there's a ... read more
