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.

Absolutely delicious. Flavor of the chicken tenders are unmatched! I got a two piece tender meal and could only eat one because they were so big and juicy.

Impressed with the chicken. It was perfectly crispy fried, great seasoning and there wasn't a lot of batter on the chicken (which I liked). I got the medium and it was hot! My husband got the hot and could barely eat it, so keep in mind the spice level when ordering. Love that they use crinkle cut fries (clearly superior).

Great chicken, good value for the price, did not find seasoning and crispness up to par, got one hot and one reaper tender. The hot was okay reaper was spicy as promised but the seasoning overall was very one dimensional, just overloaded with all heat no flavor. It was also a shame that the chicken was very juicy but the expected crispy outside was not present to complement it. Fries however were phenomenal and bit on the salty side objectively speaking but I didn't mind. Overall a good place to try out at least once.
