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.

Walked in to a fairly busy waiting area and had to wait about 20 minutes for our meals. The menu is small but we knew that ahead of time. While the dining area definitely needed a sweep and the tables wiped down, the ambiance was kind a cool with the graffiti walls with area specific messages. Ordered two meals, two drinks and a ten piece. $47 seems high for small portions of fast food but my teens did leave full and happy.

Decent but costly. Everything is expensive here. The sauce is what makes the tenders. We don't have this in Mississippi so worth a try.

I read somewhere that Dave's chicken was even better than the king's Chick Fil A, so I was excited when we were finally in a town that had one to try. End result? I agreed with what I read, Dave's chicken was better! I had the 2 sliders with fries. You pick how hot you want the spice any where from no spice all the way up to reaper. I have a pretty high tolerance for spicy foods so went with 'hot'. Well it was delicious but a little too spicy for me. Definitely got the sinuses rolling. I see pain ahead for anyone crazy enou... read more

The restaurant was clean and I loved the graffiti decor. Our server was so welcoming and friendly. I wish I remembered her name so I could let their management team know. The food was amazing, fresh and tasted delicious! I had the slider and fries. The slider wasn't salty which surprised me. The spice is in the batter and a dry rub is added as well, it's absolute perfection. The fries were also seasoned perfectly. I highly recommend this spot.

The sauce is the best thing I've ever put in my mouth! The chicken is amazing and the fries with the sauce is my favorite combo of all time. I go for the good times and the good food

The Heat of the Hot is a Handleably Bold choice. In my opionion they're almost the perfect villains to chick fil a the art on the walls the cartoon chicken and spicy instead of made with love and personally I Love a good villain.
