    Los Angeles Shuts Down Post Malone’s ‘Howlin’ Rays’ Delivery Deal

    Imagine being a restaurant that’s home to some of the best fried chicken to ever be served on God’s green Earth…

    You’re fried chicken is so delicious that just about everyday in LA’s Chinatown, hundreds flock to a motel mall type building and wait in line for hours to order it. I kid you not… a one to three hour wait… every, single, day. Then one day this dude Post Malone, I’m sure you’ve heard of him, comes along and says, “if I can get Postmates to deliver your fried goodness to people for a couple of days, would you do it?”

    You, being hip to the times say, “this is a really great idea Post Malone.”

    Then in the not too far future, this idea comes to fruition. Even LAMag.com writes an article about how during a short window of time, folks living within a predetermined delivery radius will be able to have items from a limited Howlin’ Rays menu brought directly to their front doors. Sounds like either the best thing ever, or how world wars are started.

    So far no missiles have been launched but, this Howlin’ Rays delivery deal was so popular, so successful, with so many orders placed, it had to be shut down. Los Angeles literally broke Postmates.

    I’m being serious, check out the below thread from the Howlin’ Rays Twitter account.

    1. OK ALL it BREAKS my heart 2 do this but JZ and I had 2 make the call bc after discussing w the @postmates team we all agree that the pop up is no longer sustainable bc even w limiting the orders heavily (only turning on app for 2-3 mins at a time), the drivers are…

    2. so backlogged that they are wrapped around almost a whole city block and they are cancelling many of the orders bc they cannot wait in the traffic. Also, the city is gonna shut us down at some point bc of the cars waiting in the streets blocking the traffic..

    3. JOHNNY SAYS HE HAS 150 ORDERS LEGT TO FULFILL AND HES GOING TO TRY TO GET ALL OF THOSE DELIVERED, THE ONLY WAY IT WO T BE DELIVERED IS IF YOUR DROVER HAS TO CANCEL AND YOU WILL GET A FULL REFUND FOR THAT. We have too much respect for all of you to have you waiting…

    4. like this not knowing what’s going on and wasting your time trying to figure out if we are open or if your order is gonna come. We were very excited to bring this collab to u and we wanted to surprise u for the holidays but even with all of the weeks of preparation…

    — HOWLIN' RAY'S (@howlinrays) December 13, 2019

    5. we and the postmates team put into this y’all still broke the internet and I love that bc you go just as hard as we do. Nobody thought this would happen and it’s never happened before and that’s a testament to YOU and the CREW, bc together we make history…

    — HOWLIN' RAY'S (@howlinrays) December 13, 2019

    6. BUT I KNOW YOU’RE STILL ANNOYED AND PISSED OFF rn and I totally understand why and IM SOOOO SORRY to anyone who didn’t get to order or didn’t get their order bc it got cancelled. YOU KNOW WE ARE GONNA TAKE CARE OF U THO. IM GONNA POST SOMETHING LATER FOR WHAT TO DO IF…

    — HOWLIN' RAY'S (@howlinrays) December 13, 2019

    7. YOU DIDNT GET YOUR ORDER YOU GOT CANCELLED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. TRUS ME WE WILL DELIVER THESE ORDERA TO YOU PERSONALLY OVER THE NECT COUPLE OF WEEKS IF THATS WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU. STAY TUNED ILL BE BACK IN A BIT…

    — HOWLIN' RAY'S (@howlinrays) December 13, 2019

    8. Thank you and I’m so sorry again on behalf of all of us that we let you down but I want you to know THE CREW WENT HARD FOR YOU AND THEY DID EVERYTHING ON THEIR POWER TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND AND GET AS MANY ORDERS OUT TO YOU AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. WE LOVE YOU WE ARE HUMBLED.🙏

    — HOWLIN' RAY'S (@howlinrays) December 13, 2019

    Damn sry bout these typos ☝️ I was typing FURIOUSLY to get this out ASAP 😭

    Crazy stuff right? In the end, the demand was too much for a small cloud kitchen to handle.

    For anyone who has ever questioned Los Angeles’ fried chicken capabilities, thinking that such a staple of American food culture is best served in the Sauth (spelled that way for a reason)… just ask yourself if whatever restaurant in wherever Alabama ever had to shut down a Post Malone slash Postmates collaboration because hundreds of orders are coming in each minute? Didn’t think so.

    I’m not labeling LA a fried chicken town anytime soon though I can personally confirm the greatness that is Howlin’ Rays. I know a multiple hour wait in a line might not sound like an appealing way to spend your free time but what lies at the end of the line will satisfy your hunger undoubtedly. I’ve spent a good amount of hours in many lines for food during the course of my life and Howlin’ Rays is one of a handful of places I can promise is actually worth the wait.

    Maybe in another life Post Malone will stop singing Fleet Foxes and buy a whole flock of cloud kitchens so the dream of walking from living room to driveway for some Howlin’ Rays action can ultimately come true.
