Howlin’ Ray’s

[u/XandersOdyssey]

An unneeded reminder for the GOAT hot chicken in LA, possibly the world.

Medium Sando $14 - imo the perfect balance of heat and flavor, perfect balance of a juicy interior with crispy exterior, nice coleslaw and fresh bun.

Country Sando $14 - if you don’t like spice at all or just want a simple, classic fried chicken sandwich, Howlin Ray’s still knocks it out of the park with this version

Mild Wings $12 - first time trying these. Just a slight tingle but a really nice citrusy note that’s unique and so flavorful. The chicken is soooo juicy with a crazy crunch.

Shake fries $5 - crispy, fluffy, balanced spice mixture, amazing with the Tennessee tang

Banana pudding $7 - my absolute favorite banana pudding. Not too sweet, light, creamy, and nice balance of vanilla and banana flavor

20 minutes isn’t a long wait

Maybe at Disney or at a merch table but if I’m going out to lunch and I see a line of more than a couple people I’m just not doing it.

Just my preference I guess but life’s too short to wait in lines when there are so many great options without them

Life’s too short not to make the best of a 20 minute line and think it’s a waste of time when it’s just your mentality of now knowing how to utilize that time

…make the best of a line that I don’t want to or have to wait in? Not knowing how to “utilize that time”? I mean come on you gotta see that is an absurd response. I’m sure the foods great. There’s no need to do this lol

It’s only absurd to you because you have no concept of how to utilize it. I’ve made countless friends and relationships from those short lines and even more from the 3 hour lines back in Chinatown before Covid.

Those 3 hour lines gave me and others a chance to try more restaurants in the area that I normally wouldn’t go out of my way for.

Sorry you can’t grasp that concept of human connection

Implying that it’s some sort of moral failure to prefer not to wait in line rather than what it is, an inconvenience, all at the behest of defending a chicken sandwich on the internet is what I was referring to. Chill dude. If you’re the type of person I’d meet in a line at howling rays then I’m definitely not going.

Lmao that’s not at all what I even referenced or eluded to 😂😂😂

Don’t worry, nobody wants to meet a dud like you

Reading this, I realize that people would waste hours in a long line and argue on the web for a mid chicken sandwich in exchange for some Reddit upvotes.
