The Koo Koo Roo Reboot Is Finally Returning to L.A.: Everything to Know
Koo Koo Roo CEO Daniel Farasat previews the chicken eatery's return at Saturday's ChainFest, and shares what and when to expect new restaurants.
But Farasat, who acquired the dormant eatery’s intellectual property in 2022, wants to do it right — and that means meticulously planning the rebirth of the ‘Roo. After ChainFest, Farasat hopes to hold other pop-up events and collabs with chefs to keep the momentum going as he slowly builds out that first physical location. Besides Koo Koo Roo, highlights at Saturday’s Chain Fest include an appearance by White Castle (which doesn’t have locations in Southern California); a Domino’s pizza topped with smoked salmon and caviar; a butter poached lobster biscuit inspired by Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay biscuits; a spicy dish from Panda Express; a take on Red Robin burgers; and more.
