"Breaking Bad" Restaurant Los Pollos Hermanos Comes to Life Via Virtual Restaurant

The renewed frenzy around all things "Breaking Bad" in the wake of the release El Camino has spawned a new business venture — the virtual restaurant Los Pollos Hermanos.

Family Style Inc. — a delivery kitchen network which operates 23 "enlightened kitchens" across California, Nevada and Illinois — has partnered with Sony Pictures Consumer Products and Uber Eats to bring Los Pollos Hermanos to life under a three-year deal launching Oct. 24 exclusively on Uber Eats.

Inspired by the restaurant chain owned by Gustavo "Gus" Fring, played by Giancarlo Esposito, on both "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul", Los Pollos Hermanos will offer menu items for delivery such as Pollos Tenders, Fring Fries and the ABQ Hot Chicken Sandwich.

The latter is described as "a buttermilk battered fried chicken breast served on a buttered bun with dill pickle chips and a whole grain mustard spread." It comes with a dollop of “Slaw Goodman” on the side for the "perfect bite."

Delivery from Los Pollos Hermanos will be available in Los Angeles initially before a planned expansion to other metropolitan destinations like San Francisco, Oakland, San Diego, Las Vegas and Chicago.

Under the deal, Uber Eats will offer one week of free delivery every month on all Los Pollos Hermanos orders for a six-month period under the partnership. There will not be a brick-and-mortar location.

“For the longest time, I’ve harbored the idea of a real-life Los Pollos Hermanos where Breaking Bad fans could savor Gustavo Fring’s chicken,” said the show's creator Vince Gilligan.

“Little did I realize this could be accomplished without building an actual brick-and-mortar restaurant. Yay, technology! Smart phones actually are good for something!”

Breaking Bad Experience pop-up restaurant takes the show's chemistry and runs with it

The West Hollywood pop-up is from the same team and at the same location as the Saved by the Bell and All That pop-ups. "While most pop-up dining experiences centered around beloved TV franchises offer little more than set dressing for photo-ops, the Breaking Bad Experience goes a little further — offering all of that plus a bag of Funyuns (literally)," says Dane Rivera. "There are nods to the show throughout the menu. You can order Schraderbräu, Blue Sky cocktails, or a breakfast plate featuring neatly arranged bacon. The servers are all dressed in meth-safe hazmat suits, and each table is adorned with a chemistry beaker and burette."
