'Breaking Bad' restaurant Los Pollos Hermanos may become a real thing
Apparently, there's a chance that the show's fictional Mexican restaurant, Los Pollos Hermanos, could become a real thing, show creator Vince Gilligan said during a Reddit AMA on Thursday.
"Believe it or not…there is talk of a Pollos Hermanos becoming a real restaurant," he said. "This is not an idea that I generated personally. But it's one that's been presented to me, through the good folks at Sony, and the idea came to them from a businessman who has an interest in doing that."
That businessman could be barking up the right tree.
In 2013, there was a run on the restaurant's guacamole dip after "Breaking Bad" featured a tense dinner scene between Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and his wife (Anna Gunn) in which the waiter continually interrupted them with glowing praise for the restaurant's guacamole.
Reddit members began a long chain of things a restaurant based on Los Pollos Hermanos should have if it really came to fruition, including "a guy that looks like Walter White sitting alone eating," "a set of mute twins in silver suits staring into space in the corner," and "ice cream covered with blue pop rocks."
