In 1991, the first California Chicken Cafe was born in the heart of Hollywood on Melrose Avenue and quickly became an LA staple.

- Is California Chicken Cafe an inside joke?

__-__-_-__ Whenever I ask an old friend to get lunch or to catch up they suggest CCC. At this point I'm afraid to ask. Is there something I'm missing? It kind of tastes like prepackaged cold food from a high end grocery store but for twice the price. I'd actually prefer to eat Sodexo or LAUSD before going back to CCC. Is it just like Jumbos where they suggest this so I say "forget it"?
- raggedycandy I briefly worked in their corporate office. I will say the owner / founder is a restaurant operations genius. They way he has set everything up is incredibly intelligent, he basically has like a small city that does everything - like everything is in house in regards to plumbing, construction, laundry service, etc.
Absolutely the most organized BOH I've ever been in - it was magical, everything is SO clean and has its permanent place.
The owner also takes care of his people - 90% of the staff (hourly included,) are lifers that have been there for 10+ years, because they are paid a living wage and given great benefits.
He should really write a book about restaurant management, it could be used in so many industries as a role model to aspire to.- unauthorizedbunny The secret is the chinese chicken salad.
- itlynstalyn Or the wrap with the hot rotisserie chicken
- DontGoogleMeee Basically candy with some lettuce. But so good
- LetsNotPlayOurselves It's wholesome, light, and reasonably tasty food without being a $61-per-person organic, shaman-blessed, farm-to-table, 18% service charge for employee healthcare affair.
- Yoshirandom I love it. The dark meat special with roasted potatoes and the chicken pasta salad is my go to. Also love the combo wrap.

The CCC offers meals where you can pick your pieces of roasted-on-an-indoor-spit (try the crispy skin at least once – oh God it's good) with options for a side (or more) of fruit, salad, soup, savory potatoes, mashed potatoes, pasta salad, or slaw. You can also go by way of a wrap, an entree salad, or even a full meal made up entirely of sides. Basically, the combinations and permutations are endless. And you can customize it. Feel like adding green onions or omitting the sprouts? No worries, the CCC will cater to your stomach's every whim.Here's the thing. I have had several conversations within the past few days that have gone one of two ways: "Yes, I love the CCC and the salad dressing must be laced with crack" or "California Chicken Cafe? Nope, I haven't heard of it..."
If I hear the second response, I feel absolutely obligated to spread the word because – you guessed it – I go there so often they know my name.
Okay, so what's on the California Chicken Cafe menu? Per the name, the only meat here is chicken – roasted, on the bone (white and/or dark meat), cut up in salad, wraps, or mixed with pasta and dressing.
Below is a list of my favorite things at the CCC:
- California Chicken Salad
I get mine sans pasta and with green onion. I get several dressings on the side because I'm hooked.- Combo or Primavera Wrap
I get extra dressing on the side. I know, clearly the food is just a vehicle to get the dressing in to my mouth.- Broccoli Soup
It's creamy and healthy.- Chicken or Broccoli Pasta Salad
Eat as-is or tucked in a piece of delicious pita.- Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
Soft, pillowy, and just how mashed potatoes should be. I always add butter (because food is just a vehicle to get butter on my lips, as some of you might know).- Roasted Chicken, any piece
(Well, I would order just the skin, if I could, but somehow I think the health inspectors would find me and cage me if I tried).- Chinese Cabbage Salad
Great when topped with the Ranch dressing and wrapped in pita.- Balsamic Dressing, Ranch Dressing, Chinese Dressing
I know, you say "Dressing?" But to be quite frank, it's whatever is in these dressings that cements the CCC as a frequent contributor to my list of weekly staples. It's been debated, but I'm pretty sure every one of them is laced with negligible amounts of something tantalizingly addictive.Now, no matter who you are: a local, a native, a transplant, a visitor, an athlete, a child, a foodie, or a even picky-eater – you now know that the CCC is a place where you can get full, eat well, and not break the bank.
