Austin is full on into South by Southwest (SXSW) this week…and wouldn’t you know it? Los Pollos Hermanos did a pop-up shop, bringing to life the famous chicken joint from Breaking Bad. While the restaurant was recreated in excruciating detail down to the menu items, the only they were serving up were curly fries, dipping sauce, and water. That didn’t stop fans from flocking to the promo location (more on that in a moment).
Look who else showed up:

That’s right. Bob Odenkirk and Giancarlo Esposito, who played Saul Goodman and Gus Fringer in the series. Their appearance plus the restaurant happened to promote their spin-off show, Better Call Saul.
Now if they would have JUST gotten Hector, his wheelchair, and that damn bell…it would have been perfect — [eric]
