2014 Hot New Concept – ChocoChicken
ChocoChicken
Umami Burger founder Adam Fleischman, whose Los Angeles-based AdVantage Restaurant Partners is developing a number of new concepts, opened ChocoChicken in downtown Los Angeles in June, featuring chocolate-infused fried chicken. The casual-dining restaurant was developed with movie producer Sean Robins and chef Keith Previte, who form ChocoChicken Group along with Fleischman and Lee Weinberg of AdVantage. The chain uses Jidori chicken, a free-range bird known for its flavor, which is marinated in brine before being dredged in a spice-infused batter.
