At Vanderbilt, a few brave foodies and I once ventured into East Nashville to visit Prince’s and Bolton’s, the original homes of Nashville’s now-famous hot chicken. Afterwards, I wanted to empty a fire extinguisher in my mouth.
But the searing tongue was worth it, because Nashville hot chicken has an irresistible, highly unique taste competitors have struggled to decrypt. But Inman Park’s Parish has cracked the code, and the result is no knockoff. Their take tastes authentic, plus they’ve significantly reduced the spiciness to appeal to more palates.
Parish serves Nashville hot chicken on Fridays and accepts reservations online.
