    Is this the Pioneer Chicken stand immortalized by Warren Zevon in Carmelita?

    That’s wild that the old one is now little Caesar’s in echo park. Dang am I remembering it incorrectly or was the lassens a pioneer? Nah the lassens was a vons? Shit I can’t remember. It’s been like 20 years.

    The chicken and the crunch are still the same after all these years 🥲

    Miss this. They closed the one off Olympic in los angeles some time back and the one off sunset. Didn’t know there were 2 left. I think a trip to Boyle heights has become a priority.

    My mom says the strawberry shortcake parfait here was her number one pregnancy craving she had with me

    I was like 10 years old and me and my little bro went to buy a drink to share while my mom was next door at the laundromat. I guess I tripped or something but I dropped my drink. The only thing I knew i had to do was to go tell and adult, which I did. I told a worker behind the counter. And he said something like “what do you want me to do?” Me: umm. Then he made me clean it up. I remember being a little too embarrassed to ever go into a Pioneer after that.

    Growing up in Hawaii we had pioneer chicken. Last time I had pioneer was close to Dodger stadium. Somebody has to get that recipe quick.

    I grew up eating the chicken sandwich! It was my fave when I was a kid.

    You know…today is a day where I’m supposed to be cleaning up a bunch of shit and Downey is pretty close to to the Bell Gardens one. This caused a flood of crunchy memories about the SGV location. It legitimately was my grandpa’s favorite fried chicken.

    It’s been thirty years since I’ve had pioneer chicken and when I see pics I still know exactly what it tastes like.

    Wish the one in Westlake village was still around

    I love that place , great memories I used to go there as a kid with my late brother . I’m hooked on the chicken strips and mashed potatoes.
