38 Essential Restaurants in Nashville
"Coming off of a win for “best fried chicken” in the 2023 Eater Nashville Awards, S.S. Gai has carved a name for itself in a town known for frying up a stellar bird. Situated in bay 3 of East Nashville’s The Wash, Chris and Emma Biard’s Thai fried chicken comes with sticky rice, fried shallots and garlic, tamarind chile fish sauce, chile vinegar, vegetables, and herbs that you can artfully arrange into rolls and dip to your heart’s content. If you’re looking for some of that heat Nashville is known for, ask for the “make it risky” option and prepare to break a sweat." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Eater Staff
