I enjoyed it. I went during lunch to avoid the night crowd.

The Venice and WeHo locations of Night + Market now take reservations via Resy.

This is all academic for me at this point (since I live out of town and haven’t gotten around to waiting in line at HR – nor have I made to Gjusta yet), but didn’t someone (Ipse maybe) say that Gjusta’s fried chicken at brunch was less than good? Really looking forward to trying both those places.
You’re probably thinking of @moonboy403 and republique.
Gjusta’s fried chicken is worth ordering.

Look what I found on Instagram @Chowseeker1999 
…I wonder if it gets soggy. And is that bread normal?

Hi @TheCookie,
Wow.
Hm… slow cooked, tender, deeply savory Collard Greens (with Pork Belly) topped onto Howlin’ Ray’s Chicken Sando? Crispy, crunchy, spicy tender Chicken with the moist Stewed Collard Greens? That might work. 
I enjoy eating both of those things in bites, back-to-back when I’m there, so it should work together? 
Thanks.

Hi @attran99,
You’re too kind. I’m always eager to hear about more of your adventures as well, thanks!
I gotta ask Johnny or Amanda next time when is the Westside location going to open!!???!!??!!
An hour before opening wasn’t too bad of a wait before if I can recall.
If waiting at LASA= 1-1.5 hour
I think it was pushing 2+hrs. Overheard folks in line taking.
Hi @Sgee,
Yah, weekends are just the busiest unfortunately. 
We tend to avoid Saturday / Sunday, unless we have a group going and we take turns rotating (some hold the line, while others can get a coffee / ice tea, walk around and come back).
In our last visit on a weekday, at 10:20 a.m. there were only like five people in line.

My sister said she has ordered take out but it was a month in advance. Can you do that?
Yes, IIRC Howlin’ has a limited number of slots for take-out orders ahead of time, but there’s a minimum amount required to order (and right now they’ve closed all take-out / pre-orders).
Last time I did it you had to pick up before opening. So you basically have to eat lunch at 11 or eat colder HR. I wouldn’t preorder sandwiches again…YMMV.
Finally tried Gus’ and it’s really awesome. And that was at the office, catered lunch, chicken that was fried hours ago. Microwaved to reheat and still crazy juicy and flavorful.

Ahhh… good to know. Maybe I’ll give it a 3rd try. It was the opposite of crazy juicy the times we tried it.
