There’s a real-world Los Pollos Hermanos at #SXSW
Vince Gilligan has teased the possibility of a real-life Los Pollos Hermanos—the delicious-looking chicken restaurant ruled with a politely smiling iron fist by Breaking Bad breakout character Gus Fring—before. Now, AMC has made that gently battered dream a reality, building a real-life version of the store as a “pop-up activation” (ugh) at this year’s SXSW. It’s all part of the network’s ongoing efforts to remind us all that Giancarlo Esposito’s box cutter-wielding boss will be returning to the franchise when Better Call Saul comes back for its third season next month.
