James Beard finalist and Top Chef champion Mei Lin’s famed fried chicken restaurant in Silver Lake, Daybird, is worth the hype (and the Sichuan spice!). This cashless restaurant offers online orders for pickup and window service, and the menu is simple. Diners can choose between chicken tenders (available from mild to “extreme” spiciness made with ground Sichuan peppercorns and other seasonings), a fried chicken sandwich (with the same options for levels of heat) and French fries. There are three sauces to add some extra flare, including habanero ranch, Daybird sauce and hot honey.
