Chicken covered in batter covered in sugar...yeah I'm not their market.

 

Fried chicken with honey is pretty damn good. To each their own, but I'm definitely in their market along with their (pretty large) following.

If you mean this place on Quadra Street, it's real.

Although I have never eaten anything from here, I have been told they make good Korean-style fried chicken. I agree the place does look sketchy from the outside, but that's part of its North Park "charm".

Looks awesome. If I am ever around there I might pick some up which is most likely never. Junk food is junk food and I like local. I like the KFC reference.

I wondered the same thing today. Looks ready to go. Being opened by the former head chef of Be Love Mat Clarke.

end dive opens tomorrow. Private party the other night featuring a young Beautiful People crowd swilling cans of PBR. A disturbing lack of draught beer "handles" behind the bar makes me think this may not be the place for me.

Large is the problem that comes from deep fried breading then honey.

Ok I'm going to bite - what is the KFC reference?

 

And walked by that place many times to and from work and was never tempted to go in.

KFC= Korean fried chicken instead of Kentucky fried chicken.

KFC is one of the biggest food trends in the world right now.

Sorry folks I still do not get the KFC reference. The business name is "Chicken 649". How is that a play off the huge Kentucky Fried Chicken? 

 

And I've been to South Korea. Never encountered fried chicken. And was not badgered on the street.

KFC is just an acronym for a type of fried chicken, which is also an acronym for a brand of fried chicken.

Chicken 649 is very good.

But at least the pricing makes sense without getting in to the details.

Well, it’s got a good location, some would say. If it has a good lease, that can be worth some of the $80,000 right there. Based on the photos I’d guess it’s underperforming now.
