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.

I'm from Reno, and we don't have a Dave's Hot Chicken yet, so I thought we'd give it a try since we got some recommendations for it while we were here. We ordered the #2, two sliders and fries and split it between the two of us. Additionally, we ordered the Powerade slushee, and the Strawberry Lemonade slushee. The slushees are the type that have pretty thick ice, so you could drink all the flavoring out before the ice melts, but the flavors were good! I really enjoyed the sliders, the slaw and pickles on them really make it... read more

Solid hot chicken spot. The sliders are good size, two will filler up. The bun, slaw, sauce, and pickles complement the chicken well. There is a heat scale to choose from.
