A new restaurant with a unique focus is opening soon in downtown Los Angeles. Called ChocoChicken, the restaurant features fried chicken with chocolate flavors. Adam Fleischman, the founder and chief executive officer of Umami Burger, one of the most renowned burger spots in the city, established ChocoChicken to meet the spirit of culinary adventure that now exists in Los Angeles.
Umami Burger has long attracted diners with its own distinctive flavor combinations, and this sister restaurant targets the same audience. Fleischman has become known for recreating familiar standbys with odd and strangely addictive flavors, and ChocoChicken continues this theme. The fried chicken at ChocoChicken does not merely have a mole flare, as one might expect. Instead, chefs put chocolate directly into the fry batter for an innovative twist on a classic comfort food. The restaurant pairs its chicken with homemade biscuits and a range of different sides, including white-chocolate mashed potatoes, dark-chocolate ketchup, and bacon muffins.
ChocoChicken already has plans to expand.
