"Situated behind No Quarter and Hubba Hubba, Brave Idiot is a food truck that started as a pop-up at Subculture Cafe and has gone on to win over the hearts of local Nashvillians with its over-the-top renditions of burgers, sandwiches, and crunchwraps. While some of the specialty menu items rotate, the Crispy Boi — a towering meat behemoth with two Bear Creek Farm smash patties, American cheese, grilled onion, and smash sauce — is almost always available." - Ellen Fort
"Nashville’s food truck scene is just as impressive as its reservation-only restaurants, and Brave Idiot is a regular atop “best of” lists for excellence in two dishes: burgers and hot chicken. Hot chicken comes in the form of tenders or a towering sandwich appropriately topped with pickles. Pick the spice level that suits (which, for very brave idiots, is eight through 10). Beat the heat with a side of pasta salad or double down with a Nashville hot hashbrown, then wander into neighboring bars No Quarter and Hubba Hubba for a proper cool off (food can be brought into either bar)." - Kellie Walton
"Brave Idiot is a permanently parked food truck behind No Quarter. 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, ann walczak, adam sloan, bailey freeman
