The 9 Best Nashville Hot Chicken Restaurants, Ranked - Nashville - The Infatuation

"Brave Idiot is a permanently parked food truck behind No Quarters in East Nashville. What exactly makes Brave Idiot one of the best hot chicken joints in the city though? It could be the high-quality pieces of chicken it uses, or the ridiculously crisp skin that gives way to a juicy bird. Or, maybe it’s the fact that you can taste every individual spice without feeling like your face is melting off like Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. (It’s only, like, 65% melted.) But truthfully, it’s probably a mix of all of that—and that fact that the owner is just so damn nice, and the operation itself is really fun. Case in point: If you show them a picture of your cat, you get a discount." - jackie gutierrez jones 2
