Nashville is famous for its hot chicken. While many restaurants today offer the dish, Prince's Hot Chicken is where it all started. The story goes that back in the 1930s, Thornton Prince's girlfriend was frustrated with him coming home late. To show her frustration, she doused his fried chicken in cayenne pepper the next day. Despite her effort, Thornton loved it, and he opened a restaurant serving the spicy chicken around 1935. Miss André Prince took over the family business that continues to be a legendary restaurant in Nashville. Insider's Herrine Ro and Alana Yzola visited the restaurant to learn about the history and try the dish.
Editor's note: This episode was filmed in 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic. Nashville restaurants are currently open for dine-in service at half capacity.

As a Nashville native, I appreciate this because Prince’s deserves the recognition. Tomiko was right, it has kind of gotten gentrified by other restaurants but I appreciate owners like Party Fowl who pay homage to the original.

Princes may have been the first but they aren’t the best. Its like Buffalo wings yea they may have started there but you aren’t going to find the best wings in Buffalo. I’ve worked with the company the quality at princes is in the shitter

Even though quality may be subjective, and I can empathize with my food tastes, I sometimes wonder whether the US should have an original food recipe protection policy like the European Union does; even if protected food recipes like parmigiano Reggiano and others have medieval roots. With the US, and with the same idea, I wonder is Andre Prince the owner of anchor bar in Buffalo New York, and other family restaurants that are still around and have famously invented an iconic American food recipe should have protective recognition like as I explained, to keep big corporations from ruthlessly buying them out unless anti-trust enforcement is thankfully enforced. With that aside, I have never visited Nashville; yet one of my aunts moved there several years ago at this point. She knows the scene, she experienced the swarm of cicadas, and I hope to visit her let alone the city on my own terms to taste the legendary spicy fried chicken as a trade versions in San Diego where I currently live. Someday, I will make the food pilgrimage. I even recommended a friend try it out, and she did.

Fun fact. I live 5 minutes from prince's. Literally down the street from me. My roommate is mad addicted to it. The customer service is definitely lacking there though honestly. Also, prince's might be the original, but I prefer slow burn in East Nashville. I made a poll in a Nashville hot chicken group a while back that got like 150 votes and slow burn was by far the best rated hot chicken place. It's far superior in my opinion. That's not to say prince's Hot Chicken isn't good because it is.. I just wish they were on slow burns level. This video is a paid ad.
