CHX was born from a love of bold flavor, thoughtful cooking, and bringing people together. Growing up in Los Angeles, surrounded by the city’s mix of cultures and cuisines, founder Alex Hyman learned early that great food is about more than what’s on the plate. It’s about creativity, care, and connection.

Starting in high school, Alex spent two and a half years interning at Kali, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Los Angeles, where he was exposed to the precision, technique, and attention to detail behind fine dining. Later, working on his friend’s Sunset Smash food truck introduced him to a completely different side of the industry: fast-paced, approachable, and built around the energy of the street.

CHX Sandwiches came from bringing those two influences together. Bold fried chicken sandwiches, thoughtful ingredients, and the attention to detail of a restaurant, served in a way that is simple, fun, and welcoming.
