If you ever get to Nashville, they have Hattie B's, of course, but there is also a place called Prince's Hot Chicken that is other-worldly. I had the medium and it almost killed me.
Sadly--the original Prince's in Nashville burnt down several years ago and they have decided not to re-open in that location. They did open in a more "suburban" neighborhood. The original had an ambiance (in other words fear for your life) that can't be replaced.

Regnis -- LOL -- you must have read my mind. I wrote and then erased the following comments when I first posted.

When we went to Prince's (the original that burned down), it was 2 AM. We had seen an MMA event in Nashville. Anyway, when we got to Prince's, the place was packed. But we were the only white dudes in there except for a monstrous guy with a full-size marijuana leaf tattoo covering his huge bald head.

So yeah, MDawg should be okay in the new one.

My compadres and I like to say that we're at home in any environment. The old Prince's at 2 AM on Sunday morning is one of those environments we're talking about.
I'm from the south side of Chicago so I don't scare that easily. I was there many times. But my lily white suburban wife, although she loved the chicken, refused to ever go again. So when I'm with her it's Hattie B's.
