"Dave’s Hot Chicken opens its first restaurant with a drive-thru at 9040 W. Sahara Ave. in an easy-to-spot location across Fort Apache Road from Village Square. The draw here is a roster of fast-casual hot chicken tenders and sliders, along with sides of house-made kale slaw, creamy mac n’ cheese, and crispy French fries. Dave’s offers seven various spice levels ranging from No Spice to Reaper, which requires a signed waiver for those who dare. Each heat level uses a different spice blend. The restaurant plans to be open daily from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m." - Susan Stapleton
