Nashville's Prince's Hot Chicken Shack
Known for Nashville's unique deep-fried poultry specialty, spiced from mild to ultrahot levels. Its origin story is truly fascinating and delicious: according to legend, Thorton Prince was often visiting his sister's fried-chicken shop when one day, she decided to throw him off by whipping up an even hotter batch than usual for him to devour without realizing all the peppers and spices she'd added - instead he asked for more!
Andre Prince Jeffries, more commonly known by her nickname of Ms. Andre, currently manages Prince's Restaurant as its most beloved patrons line up through a cutout in a plywood wall that divides the kitchen from dining area. Once their orders are in, customers wait - sometimes up to an hour-while Ms. Andre works her shift which ends at 4 am on weekends. Address: 5814 Nolensville Pk #110, Nashville, TN 37211
