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.

Chicken sandwich was good, I ordered it extra hot and it was actually hot! The order for two sandwiches comes with seasoned fries. Flavors are good, and they give extra sauce too. I would have liked onion on my sandwich, but I'm not sure if they offer that. Only thing was that the place could've used some fresh air, it smelled like old greasy food smell trapped in there. Employees were friendly for a fast food place. Next time I'll check out their other new location near me.

Got the #4 meal combo. Medium spice chicken sandwich. This thing was really good. Medium is not spicy at all but the chicken was tender, crispy on the outside, and really good. The spicy sauce on it made it super tasty, almost delectable Id say. The fries and sauce were kind of dreadful, like a bad copy of Canes and In N Out. However, my partner did enjoy them a lot actually. Its too bad they dont sell just the sandwich. Its a must have! 

Business response:

Hey, big thanks for the high marks! We're super stoked you had a great time. Just wondering, what's the secret sauce we need for that perfect score? Hit us up at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc – let's make it happen!
