Q: I am often asked by restaurant practitioners (from owners to chefs), which restaurant is the most popular in Los Angeles?  

Ok, now for your answer. Without further ado, it must be located in China Town Far East Plaza (Far East Plaza) 炸鸡 storeHowlin Ray's! It has been open for more than a year in Los Angeles, and there are still hundreds of people queuing up every day. It starts from 2hours on weekends, and on weekends< /span>4hours. Come to think of it, Mentingruo City is not enough to describe its popularity.  

Every morning from 9pm (weekends8pm), there will be a long queue, stretching from the front door through the atrium to the road at the entrance. Especially on weekends, people will start to queue up 2 hours before opening, which is also Not counting the approximately 300-400Picks that are booked out per dayPick Up~ 

Charm:  ;

You must ask me what is the charm of this 炸鸡? Why can people wait so patiently, just to taste it? ! Well, for the simple reason that it'sdelicious and has character and fits the American diet!  

1.炸鸡 can be called the four kings of American food, from adults to children, there are too many diehards, a wide audience, and natural customers There are more groups; 

2.Delicious😋: The heat is just right, the skin is quite crispy, but it doesn't make you feel like a bite of bread crumbs; the most important thing is that the inside is juicy and tender, even the white meat (chicken breast) is actually soft It's amazing, not only is it not dry at all, it even bursts into pulp!  

3.Curiosity: Pervert 辣! Remember the pervert 辣 that was popular in China as a child? The invincibility created by that chemical agent has also attracted many" Bold”Those who want to take on the challenge. And Howlin' Ray's's 炸鸡 is the first in the United States. 0Placeholder_for_esaay_translation931a307c142b4f44a3ae5f212c000🔥?  

4.Concentrate on“Chicken"~On the menu there is only 炸鸡 and some side dishes, no other dishes One can't help but think that sometimes, if you do one thing to the extreme, I believe it is not far from success, right?  

Although it seems“perverted"The average 辣 degree of meat is a selling point, but to be honest, with 炸鸡 meat, even the white meat portion in line is incredibly juicy for a reason.
