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.

The menu is pretty straightforward if you have been here previously. For those first timers, slider = sandwich, mini slider = slider. As for spice/hotness, I ordered medium as a first “try”. Medium has a little kick to it, not much as you would expect from “medium”.
I ordered the 2 Slider meal (the #2 because it was the 22nd of April) and a medium drink. It came to almost $19! To be fair, that’s 2 sandwiches, I got caught up with the slider definition thinking I needed 2. One is enough, it’s not slider size.
The spice was OK, it’s a little overpowering in that you don’t taste the chicken. The chicken was a good size and thick. It’s really a “tender” shape and was cooked well and was tender and moist.
Sheriff Dave wrote no tickets here. The fries were plentiful (not 5 Guys plentiful, but then who is?) and cooked well. They are seasoned crinkle cut fries so again you pretty much just taste the seasoning.
This is not a place to order food on the go and eat in your car. I went through 6 napkins. I guess if you want spice all over your steering wheel and gear shift, then by all means, order to go and eat in the car.
The lobby area was clean, the tables cleared, chairs cleaned and no trash on the floor. However, the floor was very sticky. A little echoy/echoie (is that a word) in the lobby but not horrible.
The front counter help was nice and helpful.
I have to say, the chicken was incredibly fresh, and the staff was kind.
I like how the bun they use is soft, and the sauce is amazing.
We both had the chicken sandwich with medium sauce which had a little kick to it but not too hot. Sauce is delicious!!
Place has a cute vibe inside, service was great! Prices are about the same as typical fast food prices but quality of food was great.
I was also very happy to see that the establishment uses filtered water for their soda fountain which to me makes a noticeable difference.
Great experience overall solid food and friendly service. I will absolutely be coming back.
