In the vibrant heart of Los Angeles, where flavor and culture intertwine at every corner, one young chef has managed to capture the city’s essence in a single bite. Alex Hyman, the founder of CHX Sandwiches, has created more than just a food truck. He has built a movement centered on connection, care, and creativity. His story is one of passion, precision, and perseverance, journey from a student to visionary entrepreneur.
Growing up in Los Angeles, surrounded by a dazzling mix of cuisines and communities, Alex learned early on that food is not just about what sits on the plate. It is about the people who make it, the places that inspire it, and the joy it brings to those who share it. That lesson would later become the foundation of CHX and the phrase that defines it: “Chicken as it should be.”
After completing his training at Kali, a Michelin-starred restaurant, known for its artistry and technique, Alex sought to combine what he had learned with the vibrant street-food energy that defines Los Angeles. He joined his friend on the Sunset Smash truck, working long nights and discovering the raw, electric rhythm of the city’s food scene. Those two worlds, the precision of fine dining and the authenticity of street cooking, came together to form a new idea. That idea became CHX Sandwiches.
CHX is where craft meets comfort. Every sandwich tells a story through the crunch of perfectly fried chicken, the balance of bold flavors, and the welcoming warmth that fills the room. It is food made with intention and served with heart. For Alex, each guest who comes up to the window is more than a customer. They are part of a growing community built around great taste and genuine connection.
The city has noticed. CHX Sandwiches has been featured in Food Life Mag, the Abbot Kinney Blvd Association, Brentwood City Lifestyle, Rick Lox, and the Los Angeles Food Truck Association. These recognitions speak to the food truck reputation for quality and authenticity. Yet Alex remains humble, always focused on the people who return time and again for the experience, not just the meal.
Outside the kitchen, Alex shares his journey openly on social media. Through his Instagram page @chxsandwiches, he brings followers into his daily life, posting videos that reveal the energy and effort behind every sandwich served. From early morning prep to the late-night clean-down, his feed captures the honesty of hard work and the joy of doing what he loves. His presence online reflects the same values that define his food truck authenticity, community, and the belief that success comes from passion combined with persistence.
CHX Sandwiches is more than a business. It is a living expression of Alex Hyman’s journey and a reminder that great things often begin with small beginnings. From a culinary classroom to a Michelin kitchen to a food truck and now a thriving Los Angeles favorite, Alex’s story embodies what it means to dream big and stay true to your roots.
For those who seek food that feels personal, thoughtful, and alive, CHX offers exactly that. It is not only chicken as it should be, but hospitality as it should feel — real, warm, and welcoming to everyone.
