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.

Got the slider takeout and it was solid. Good flavor and good portion. Took a lot of time waiting. Overall good lunch spot at a fair price.

First Impressions: N/A, ordered to go for lunch at work. Coworker of mine wanted to try it...

We were greeted as soon as we entered by the extremely nice cashier who also went on to ask if it was our first time and recommended us what to get (I believe her name was Melissa). Our food came out fast and delivered the spice we were promised. Really good! My only complaint was that the music was pretty loud. 

Business response:

Boom! Glad you loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!

We got the hot and the reaper sandwich. When getting the reaper, we had to sign a waiver! So funny because the receipt ran out of paper, but the manager came over and made sure the they printed and has us sign. The hot sandwich was delicious, but the reaper was something else. Eating it on the sandwich with all the toppings, the spice was tolerable, and enjoyable. Something about the reaper, the taste was better. I tried eating a bite of chicken alone without all the sandwich toppings and it was FIREY. It would be fun to ... read more

I ordered the Dave Combo #3 Medium spicy. The medium spicy is a "hot" at most other places. The size of the tenders were large and cooked well. When I arrived it was moderately busy but got to order quickly. Overall everything tasted very good and I would go back but not a place I'm dying to return as soon as possible. The combo cost me just over $15 so it is slightly expensive for the food you're getting. They give you extra sauce at no charge which these days is always a positive. If you've never been I would say it's wort... read more
