About Prince’s Hot Chicken:
Hot chicken is indisputably Nashville\’s iconic food, and at the food’s center is Prince’s Hot Chicken, a hole-in-the-wall joint on Nashville\’s north side. By all accounts, Prince\’s is where hot chicken was born, and the legend goes like this: More than 70 years ago, Thornton Prince came home after a night of tomcatting to find his lady waiting at home, none too pleased. To teach him a lesson, she doctored his Sunday morning chicken with a wallop of spice and coincidentally birthed the now-iconic dish. Prince’s has remained in the family and the family tradition is now continued by Andre Prince Jeffries, great-niece of Thornton Prince. The experience at Prince’s is still as authentic today as it was 70 years ago and led to the restaurant landing on the James Beard America’s Classic list.
Please note that you must be 21+ to attend this event.
Best wishes,
The October Team
