We're just a few days away from the premiere of the third season of Better Call Saul, the story of how Jimmy McGill transformed into Saul Goodman (and then into Cinnabon Gene). To celebrate that and the return of Breaking Bad villain Gus Fring, AMC and Icon Parking have teamed up to launch a Los Pollos Hermanos pop-up in the Financial District this weekend. And here's your first glimpse of it!

Fring's faux-restaurant will be open on Sunday, April 9th, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Monday, April 10th, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at an Icon Parking location at 243 Pearl Street (Saul premieres that same Monday night). You'll be able to try some of Fring’s "famous curly fries," and star Michael McKean (who plays Jimmy's mentally ill but brilliant brother, Chuck McGill) will be there at 3:15 p.m. on Monday to meet fans.
In season two, Saul was funnier (Hoboken Squat Cobbler!), more comfortable with its Breaking Bad roots (Mike's one man war against the Salamancas), and more tragic (everything involving Chuck and Jimmy's long-simmering family feud), and we expect it to only continue its ascent in season three—which is why it's one of our most anticipated shows of the spring. Check out a promo video featuring Fring and Los Pollos below.
