Why does it seem food tastes so much better if it's prepared at a take-out joint? Eh?
There is no right answer but let’s look at two such casual dining establishments being championed by Dezeen architectural online magazine.
WILD SIDE. Canadian studio called Amanda Hamilton Interior Design has used bold color blocking and neon lighting to give (above) this Calgary chicken shop a “1990s meets Memphis” feel. Called Strip Joint Chicken in Calgary’s East Village area, this splashy fast-casual joint serves “chicken fingers with a twist,” according to Dezeen.com. Photos by Joel Klassen.

SLICK CHICKEN. Dino’s Famous Chicken, the first of a small chain on West Pico Blvd in LA., has been “preened” by American studio named Preen Inc. The design update harkens back to SoCal’s roadside dining attractions of the 60s when, Dino’s plucked its first chickens. Preen said this of their effort: “The challenge was to elevate the existing beloved chicken and burger palace by redesigning the interior and gently updating the exterior to empower Dino’s staff to continue being a neighborhood beacon…” Photos by Lane Barden.
