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.

My family and I tried this place on a whim last night. Boy oh boy did they not disappoint! Going into it their sandwiches are called sliders so or the gate I thought I needed more than one. Nope! Their chicken strips are so big the bun just acts as something to help you hold the chicken. The chicken can out so juicy and flavorful we were all shocked, happy and mad all at the same time. We were mad at this place for a few reasons. 1. Why the heck didn't someone bring this place to Wisconsin sooner!? 2. Why didn't they ... read more

This was a DoorDash order, but let me tell you about these cauliflower bites. The heat, they are HUGE! The sauce, along with the pickles. Phenomenal! And they are only $5 for a side order this big.

This was the new restaurant of the week even though I have been to another location. This space is a duplex restaurant with one on each side of the building and I think the north side has been 3 different restaurants in about 4 years or so and this is probably the best one because for fast food it's fresh made with good quality ingredients. I will say that compared to the east side location it wasn't fresh from the fryer hot to me placing the order but not in any way cold but rather just warm. The decor is hard core urban ... read more
