Gus Fring's meth front chicken shop Los Pollos Hermanos could soon become a real restaurant, with Sony in discussions with a businessman looking to open an homage to Breaking Bad.
During a Reddit AMA, Vince Gilligan was asked if he'd ever thought of opening a Los Pollos Hermanos:
"Believe it or not... there is talk of a Pollos Hermanos becoming a real restaurant. 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 just that.
Speaking for myself, I'd love to see that happen!"
A 'real life Los Pollos Hermanos' does already exist sort-of, with the Twisters restaurant that was used to film LPH scenes in Breaking Bad still in business (I went out to Albuquerque for breakfast in Walt's booth a couple of years ago). It even retained the LPH logo from filming on one of its interior walls.
There's no word yet on whether it would be this property that would become the full-time Los Pollos Hermanos (though that's perhaps unlikely as it's in the middle of nowhere) or whether one would be set up elsewhere in the US.
UPDATE: Holy shit!
