Founded in 2017 by four childhood friends who launched the concept with just $900 and a portable fryer in an East Hollywood parking lot, the brand quickly built a cult following for its simple menu, customizable spice levels, and high-quality approach to comfort food. What began as a humble pop-up has rapidly expanded into an international franchise, recognized for its energetic atmosphere, strong brand identity, and commitment to delivering a consistently unforgettable guest experience.
