The feedback was overwhelming and the lines were long as customers feel in love with Nashville Hot Chicken just as Chef Johnny and his wife had. The food truck allowed them to explore interest in the concept and see first-hand their customers’ response to this traditional southern dish. In 2014, during a Stage at Sean Brock’s restaurant Husk in Nashville he was introduced to Nashville Hot Chicken by another local chef and found his true calling – “It was instantaneous love.” This was the moment that he and wife Amanda knew they must bring this unique food culture back to LA in what ultimately became the birth of the Howlin Rays Hot Chicken Tour.įor six months, The Howlin Rays Hot Chicken Tour introduced their version of Nashville Hot Chicken, via a food truck, to LA one stop and one customer at a time. With all that experience in fine dining you might think he would stick to that style of cooking – wrong. As a husband and wife team with roots in both Nashville and LA, Chef Johnny and Amanda bring a fresh perspective to this traditional southern food culture.Ĭhef Johnnys resume is as vast as it is impressive having worked professionally under some of the best chefs in the world including Thomas Keller at Bouchon, Gordon Ramsey at London, and Nobu Matsuhisa in LA – not to mention running his own French Bistro. Lucky for all of us, Chef Johnny Zone and his wife Amanda have brought that culture and their passion for fried chicken to LA with their wildly popular restaurant Howlin Rays. It’s all about people, their love for food and sharing that love. Nashville Hot Chicken is more than just southern fried chicken – it’s a culture.
