Born From a Shared Property Line
Two next-door neighbors in Glendale discovered they were legendary at bringing people together over food. Dinner parties turned into something bigger — and the neighborhood took notice.
Chef Steven's Obsession
Chef Steven's hot chicken obsession began at the Sunday Gospel Brunch at House of Blues in 2007 — kitchen competitions over heat levels and spice blends that got under his skin. Years of perfecting brines and chasing the perfect crunch followed.
Born on Chevy Chase Drive
In 2020, Steven brought that obsession home — opening a spot dedicated to the craft of Nashville hot chicken on Chevy Chase Drive. Every slider and tender is still made fresh daily, by hand.
A Seat at the Table
Bright, cozy, and unmistakably personal — with heat levels from approachable (Country) to gloriously reckless (Don't Chicken Out). Strangers become regulars, regulars become family.
