Two weeks ago, a tweet praising the fried chicken sandwiches at Roaming Rooster in the District went viral — and now, to repay the tweeter, the restaurant’s owners have granted her free chicken for life.
The tweet from Bri Hall, a 24-year-old musician raised in Maryland whose stage name is “La Hara,” drove demand for the restaurant’s sandwiches, generating lines that still stretch out the door at all hours of the day. Hall posted during the height of America’s obsession with the Popeyes chicken sandwich to suggest that D.C. locals try Roaming Rooster, a family business owned by an Ethiopian immigrant who, she wrote, “has always been kind.”

“After her tweet, our business went up,” at the restaurant in the Woodridge neighborhood of Northeast Washington, said Michael Habtemariam, one of Roaming Rooster’s owners. “Now she never has to pay again.”
While Popeyes is cool and all if you live in the DMV area you should check out Roaming Rooster in DC. It’s Black owned, and the founder Mike is Ethiopian born. He grew the family business from a food truck and has always been kind pic.twitter.com/kxS40kETlc
