LAS VEGAS — Singer Drake turns 38 on Thursday. But he’s the one giving gifts.
The Billboard Artist of the Decade for the 2010s is an investor in Dave’s Hot Chicken, the fast-growing chain of Nashville-style hot chicken restaurants. To celebrate his birthday, Drake is gifting everyone free Dave’s Hot Chicken sliders on Thursday, the company announced.
To receive the slider — more of a full-size sandwich — folks need to download the Dave’s Hot Chicken app, visit their local restaurant, then scan the reward at the checkout register. The celebration runs from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and is good only for in-person visits, not ordering online or through third-party delivery services.
The slider is served on a potato bun with slaw and pickles and drizzled with Dave’s sauce. The restaurant specializes in sliders, tenders and bites, at heat levels ranging from no spice to Reaper (which requires a signed waiver).
Parking lot poultry
Three childhood friends scraped together $900 to launch Dave’s Hot Chicken in 2017, hauling portable fryers and folding tables to an East Hollywood parking lot. The concept took off, and a bricks-and-mortar location in the neighborhood soon followed.
