Big Daddy’s Kick’n Chicken

A charbroiled chicken restaurant named Big Daddy’s Kick’n Chicken recently reopened in Inglewood after a 2005 fire at its flagship led to the closure of all four locations. After a successful April pop-up and with an ongoing GoFundMe campaign, owner Ronald McCan is resuscitating the concept amid demands from fans, as reported by Eater LA.

Closings

Sunset Junction Coffee Shop will end its six-year run in Silver Lake on Jan. 27, with a new, yet-to-be-announced business acquiring the building’s lease.

Citizen is now closed in Beverly Hills, more than two years after the restaurant took over the Spago-adjacent Canon Drive address previously occupied by Spaghettini & the Dave Koz Lounge.
