Nashville Hot Chicken's "Spicy" History

Nashville hot chicken, a fiery delicacy synonymous with Music City, traces its origins to the 1930s when Thornton Prince served up an exceptionally spicy fried chicken dish, seeking revenge on a lover. What began as a tale of passion became a culinary legend, with Prince's Hot Chicken gaining popularity throughout Nashville. Despite its humble beginnings in African American communities, hot chicken gained widespread recognition, eventually becoming a staple of Nashville's culinary identity. Its fame skyrocketed with establishments like Prince's Hot Chicken Shack and Hattie B's Hot Chicken continuing the tradition, inspiring countless imitations and variations nationwide. Today, Nashville's hot chicken symbolizes the city's bold flavors and rich culinary heritage, which are celebrated by locals and visitors alike.

At least two other foods were invented in Nashville. The multi-ingredient chocolate bar -- the Goo-Goo Cluster. And cotton candy -- which was invented by a Nashville dentist.

I don't have access to GooGoos where I live now....I miss them so much! 😭

If it’s too hot, don’t drink water. It makes the burn worse. Drink milk or something dairy instead.
