Prepare to Be Smothered in Nashville Hot Chicken | Eater San Diego

"A bonafide hit in Los Angeles, Dave's Hot Chicken got its start as a street-food stand in East Hollywood and has grown into four locations in the LA area; it's now bringing its mega-popular, Nashville-style chicken tenders and fries to San Diego, with its first out-of-town outpost set to open on Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach this spring and a second San Diego branch projected to debut by the end of 2020. Local operators Andrew Feghali and Lawrence Kourie — experienced running multiple units of convenience stores and quick-service eateries such as AM/PM, Circle-K, and Little Caesars Pizza — have an agreement with Dave's to open a total of 12 locations in San Diego County. The streamlined menu centers on fried chicken tenders and sliders available at heat levels from 'no spice' to 'reaper', with sides like mac & cheese, kale slaw, and curly fries." - Candice Woo
