This week Koo Koo Roo, one of L.A.'s favorite bygone chains, announced its return. Here's how it happened and when and how to get a taste.
The news spread like wildfire, but it was all about flame-grilled chicken: Beloved chain restaurant Koo Koo Roo is coming back under new ownership. The prolific chain with a stronghold in L.A. ran from 1988 to 2014, and though the specialty was skinless grilled chicken, its countless sides, salads, sandwiches and other items from the restaurant with a cult following have echoed in the minds of fans for years since the last store shuttered in Santa Monica a decade ago.
Times Food writer Rose Dosti praised Koo Koo Roo for its health-forward cooking that didn’t sacrifice flavor, calling it “something to crow about” and writing: “This could be the beginning of a new trend for fast food chicken. Others are bound to respond to the koo-koo-roo of the times.
