Howlin' Ray's w/ Adelyn Navarro Oct 31, 2018

Show notes

We did it -- we've made it to one of Los Angeles' best chicken establishments, Howlin' Ray's. Not only did we try their brand new tenders, but we did so before the public and by bypassing their infamously long lines! Take a listen to hear our thoughts on this new item to the Howlin' Ray's menu. We also talk about the history of chicken and waffles, how well we handle spice, and why *spoiler alert* this place may just be home to the best tenders we have ever had.

Jack in the Box w/ Derek Moss Oct 29, 2018

Show notes

Nuggets AND tenders are on the agenda this week and Jack in the Box is the one that is serving them up. Joining us on this adventure is Whimsical Hotel's own, Derek Moss! We have been holding off on this location for a while now, but thought the time was right to get it out of the way. They did reinvent the drive-thru though, so take a listen to learn more about that and just how gross these noogs and tendies were. BE A TENDER FRIEND! SUBSCRIBE. SHARE.

Big Mama's and Papa's Pizzeria w/ Conor Garrison Oct 22, 2018

Show notes

Conor Garrison is back with us this week for a 5th time, making him the first member of the FIVE TIMERS CLUB!! We head to the LA institution Big Mama's and Papa's. Known mostly for their pizza, this typical east coast style pizzeria also has tenders that at the very least, are reminiscent of the tenders found by Eric and Conor back east. The only question that remains is, were they good? The other question we have in this episode is "Why pizza?"

Show notes

On this week's episode we head to Downtown Los Angeles to try an establishment we have been wanting to try for some time now, Astro Doughnuts and Fried Chicken. Like the name suggests, this place specializes in doughnuts and fried chicken and we have to say, they did not disappoint on either. Joining us is the always funny Jake Ellenbogen, fresh off almost being murdered in a parking garage. Tune in to hear more about this story and more! (@jakeellenbogen - Twitter) BE A TENDER FRIEND!
