'Hot Chicken Nights' Now At Huckleberry Cafe In Santa Monica

SANTA MONICA, CA — Fried chicken dinners, once a staple on the Thursday menu at Huckleberry Bakery & Cafe in Santa Monica, are back— this time with a spicy twist!

As the eatery, at 1014 Wilshire Blvd., a part of the Rustic Canyon Family restaurant group, marks 10 years in business, the dinner series returns to its roots with "Huck Hot Chicken Nights" on Thursdays and Fridays from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. — or until supplies run out.

Diners can select their spicy preferences from: “No Heat;” “Lil’ Heat;” “Feelin’ the Heat,” “Seriously Hot!” or “Hot as HUCK.”

Hot Chicken Plates and Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich ingredients are organic, including the chicken and housemade pickles and slaw, and Milo & Olive bread, management said. Also on the menu are a rotating selection of such pies as the Passionfruit Meringue, from Laurel Almerinda, Huckleberry's pastry chef, plus beer from Santa Monica Brew Works.

A vegan option also is available — the Huckleberry Hot Sweet Potato.
