The 9 Best Nashville Hot Chicken Restaurants, Ranked 2024
"There are a ton of hot chicken names you might recognize—Prince's, Bolton's, Hattie B's—but our top pick in the city right now comes from this permanently parked food truck in East Nashville. What exactly makes Brave Idiot the best, 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
