I went here yesterday and my life has forever been changed. A 3 1/2 hour window of non stop orders and chicken flying out the window. I hope this place stays for good, and I wish it all the success in the world.

I love how this Chef explains things, very down to earth and still covers all the technical aspects, he obviously has a great resume and it shows in how well he understands every step of the process and can explain it so well. The chicken looks delicious, I hope to try it in the future.
