The Chicken Shop was Founded by Fred Taouk, who brings nearly a decade of experience spearheading operations for San Francisco's Soma Restaurant Group to Newport Beach; alongside Taouk as partner is Zak Kaldawi with a background in construction project management.
"We're excited to introduce this childhood staple from Australia to Southern California," explains Taouk. "The charcoal-roasted technique is a different and delicious take on a classic, and we're looking forward to bringing a new go-to lunch or dinner option to the neighborhood. No frills, no fuss; just the simple, fresh, everyday food we want to eat together with our families."
