North Long Beach’s viral Glizzy Street signs lease at Partake Collective (DTLB pop-up included)

Share

Glizzy Street—the gone-viral, North Long Beach-born, twin brothers-based hot dog stand that rightfully took the local, regional, then national hearts of us all—has officially signed a lease with DTLB-based ghost kitchen, Partake Collective. The space will largely be used for their catering services, which have exploded since Chaze and Chazz Clemons—number nine and ten of a ten-kid family—went viral. To celebrate the move into Partake, Glizzy Street will have a pop-up at the ghost kitchen from 5PM to 8PM on Friday, Dec. 19.

“It’s such an amazing story,” said Adam Carrillo, CEO of Partake Collective. “Even [my 10-year-old son] Luca was stoked when Glizzy Street came to tour the space. Family of 10 kids. Many of the siblings are into the food business and I am so happy they decided to rally around Chazz and Chaze’s concept.”

Glizzy Street expects to be operational inside Partake Collective by February.

Wait—I live under a rock. What’s Glizzy Street?

Born in North Long Beach and out of pure summer break ambition, Glizzy Street has become impossible to ignore. The viral hot dog stand—equal parts late-night hangout, neighborhood gathering point, and social-media phenomenon—is run by twin brothers Chazz and Chaze Clemons, whose easy chemistry and relentless consistency have turned a simple hot dog into a local obsession.

At its core, Glizzy Street is about approachability. No pretense. No overthinking. Just snappy dogs tucked into soft buns, layered with bold toppings. The brothers understand something fundamental about street food. And that is that it’s as much about energy as it is about flavor. Music hums. Conversations spill over. Phones come out for photos and videos. And a line? It always inevitably forms. The stand feels alive—and it brings a pulse point to North Long Beach nights where strangers become regulars in the span of a few visits.

The Clemons twins themselves are a major part of the draw. Chazz and Chaze move in sync. Finish each other’s sentences. Handle orders with speed and humor. And even more, they’ve created a sense of familiarity that keeps people coming back. In a city that values authenticity, their story resonates. Young, Black, academically excellent entrepreneurs building something tangible with their own hands. And that something is rooted in their neighborhood, growing organically through word of mouth and viral buzz.

What Glizzy Street ultimately represents is a broader truth about Long Beach’s food scene: some of its most exciting moments aren’t happening in dining rooms, but curbside. Fueled by hustle and community. For North Long Beach—like the upcoming StormBurger—it’s a symbol of local pride and creativity.

And what, exactly, is Partake Collective?

Partake Collective in Downtown Long Beach is a next-generation ghost kitchen and food hall concept reshaping how local food entrepreneurs launch, grow, and share their culinary visions. Located at 456 Elm Ave., Partake offers flexible commercial kitchen space. This can range from hourly rentals to long-term leases. That way, chefs, caterers, and delivery-first brands can cook, test, and scale without the overhead of a traditional restaurant. 

“We really are an entryway for new food businesses—and that makes me proud,” Adam of Partake said. “We’re proud to welcome Glizzy Street to Partake Collective Long Beach. They represent the next generation of food brands – creative, digitally savvy, and built to scale – and Partake is the perfect place for that kind of growth.”

It’s also been host to the inaugural Long Beach Grand Prix Fixe chefs competition, tickets and special dinners from local restaurants, and concepts that have grown beyond the ghost kitchen walls.

Partake Collective is located at 456 Elm Ave.
