Lost’s Hurley and Breaking Bad’s Gus: Know Your Chicken Moguls

Fans of Lost and Breaking Bad know the two dramas have plenty in common this season: unforeseen plot twists, gripping near-death sequences, and, most important, fast-food-chicken entrepreneurs. On Lost, sideways Hurley (Jorge Garcia) is the proud owner of the Mr. Cluck’s Chicken Shack dynasty, while on Breaking Bad, drug kingpin Gus (Giancarlo Esposito) carefully trains fry cooks at Los Pollos Hermanos.
