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.

Friendly staff, quick service and dependable quality. Love the music and atmosphere. I got the two slider combo which is more than enough for my husband and I. I always go with medium because I love spice without pain. Haven't gotten brave enough for hotter.

I enjoyed visiting this restaurant and I must say that those were the huge chicken breast that I have had in a long time, tender, and juicy. It is really cool how you can pick the level of spiciness for the chicken.! I tried the mild heat as a reference point. Maybe next time I will try a different level of heat.

Chicken was good...seasoning was there but needed salt. Sauce is not very good. Cane's sauce is better.
