With a name like that, it had better be!

I’ve since learned that there’s a local chain called Fantastic Cafe, which is almost certainly where they got this name. A few doors down there’s a Mediterranean restaurant run by the same family called Chicken Maison, which brings to mind another local Mediterranean chain called Chicken Dijon.
In 2011, Incredible Cafe became Four Brothers Burger Grill as Five Guys Burgers gained popularity. A few years later, with the explosion of chicken fast food, it became Top Tenders. I’m not sure it’s still run by the same people as Chicken Maison, but I wouldn’t be surprised!
As of October 2024, Chicken Dijon and Top Tenders are still around, Fantastic Cafe has expanded a bit, and Chicken Maison has expanded even more. Both Maison and Dijon were among our go-to spots for a while, though the kid prefers Dijon these days.
And we still haven’t gotten around to trying Poulet du Jour, another family-owned Mediterranean fast food spot in the area, which seems to have been around at least as long as Maison, if not as long as Dijon.
Is this the one on Manhattan Beach Blvd and Inglewood? If so it is popular with motorcycle gangs and the sheriff’s department alike.
Yes, that’s the one. We saw it on the way up on Saturday, and couldn’t resist stopping for a photo when we left.
Yeah. I hope they live up to the name, as well.
Sadly, my geek genes immediately kicked-in and all I can “hear” is that little old lady with the tree-bound cat saying, “Mr. Incredible. Oh, Mr. Incredible!”
Heh! Well, after losing his job at the insurance agency, he had to do something to pay the bills. Not a lot of money in super-heroics. 😀
