Combine all of the biggest dining trends including food trucks, locally-sourced fare and pop-up restaurants and you might end up with an experience that looks and tastes something like the "Downtown Brunch Up" happening at Daily Dose this Sunday. Nomadic chef Dante Gonzales will leave his namesake food truck behind at this stationary pop-up, where he'll serve his Sock-It-To-Me fried chicken and coconut honey biscuits in the ivy-covered, brick-lined alley of Daily Dose Cafe.

Daily Dose, which exists in a narrow courtyard off appropriately-named Industrial Street in the downtown arts district, will balance out Gonzales' chicken-and-biscuits menu with their own locally-farmed scrambled eggs and fried heirloom fingerling potatoes. The Sunday feast, which runs from 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., is RSVP only and BYOB.

If you're not in the habit of doing either of those things, try these three other arts district brunch spots where you can get a beer on draft, a table without a reservation and ample free street parking on the weekends.

That said, when Mom isn't around and the craving strikes, there are quite a number of places, both down- and upscale, where you can find comfort in chicken that's almost as good as your mom's. Turn the page for our list of the ten best fried chicken in Los Angeles.

Southern Fry at Plan Check
Leading up to this year's Best of L.A. issue (due out Oct. 4), we'll be counting down, in no particular order, 100 of our favorite dishes.

51: The Southern Fry at Plan Check Kitchen + Bar.

While the centerpiece of Plan Check Kitchen + Bar on Sawtelle is undoubtedly its dripping, concentrated burgers -- head chef Ernesto Uchimura was an ex-corporate chef at Umami Burger, after all -- there seems to be a populist swell in favor of the restaurant's smokey fried jidori chicken. Could the fried chicken sandwich could be the new burger?
