If you love comfort food, you will adore the Chicken Lady--she comes with a few rules and quirks so pay attention to what everyone says about her before you go :)

First of all, she's only open for a few hours a day (full time she does catering for the stars), don't try to swing by because you'll be bummed when you see a closed sign at 4 pm. The menu is streamlined but amazing--make sure you ask for her daily specials and always always taste the samples that she passes around--a few weeks ago she made a cheese pie (I had never heard of it either) and passed it around samples to everyone, it was epic.


The last time I went I was with a friend and we were hungry, we let our eyes do the ordering. The portions are huge--my friend and thought we'd try a bunch of things (2 orders of Chicken Strips, Beans, Mac & Cheese, Crab cakes, etc.) and we ended up with enough food to feed France. You have to get the Chicken Strips--they're a must have as is the Mac & Cheese. When you see all the photos of Hollywood stars plastering the walls it will make you feel a little better as you're consuming all those calories that 1/2 of Los Angeles is just as obsessed with the Chicken Lady as you are.
