00:00We drove four hours for a hot chicken crawl in Nashville.
00:03Let's go.
00:03First stop, we're coming in hot at Bolton's famous hot chicken and fish in East Nashville.
00:09Anthony Bourdain has been tested by Bolton's spice level, so I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little scared.
00:14So when we ordered, we were told that the medium spice is everybody else's hot.
00:18We're advised to get some mild.
00:20We got the classic lay quarter meal for around 18 bucks.
00:23This chicken on a stick is as big as your arm and will run you about $17.
00:27They are not kidding about the spice level.
00:30This is beautifully seasoned.
00:32There's like a nice lingering heat back there.
00:34I kind of like can't feel the lower half of my face right now, but I'm not putting this down.
00:37Bolton's definitely worth the hit.
00:39Next stop, patty bees in the Melrose neighborhood.
00:41I know what you're thinking.
00:43Patty bees, groundbreaking.
00:44But it felt weird not to include this spot in our crawl because they're so famous.
00:48We got a medium level tenders plate for 14 bucks.
00:51Yes, it's spicy.
00:53The heat level wasn't knock your socks off.
00:55Is it like the best hot chicken in Nashville?
00:58If you went up a level for anybody who can really handle spice, I think you'd be totally fine.
01:02And we went in on some dirty bird fries with tenders, mac and cheese, comeback sauce, green onions, and pickles
01:08for 11 bucks.
01:09This is what I would begin.
01:10We're ending our crawl at the OG Prince's in East Nashville.
01:14Nashville hot chicken was invented by Thornton Prince.
01:16This famous spot has been passed down since.
01:18You've got to pick up the iconic Andre chicken sandwich.
01:21For a little under $9, it's topped with pickles and your choice of either kickin' ranch or sweet heat sauce.
01:26Get the sweet heat.
01:28Wow.
01:28I can already feel the heat.
01:29We were also warned about the spice level on this one.
01:32This is a medium.
01:33This has got some serious kick.
01:34It's really juicy on the inside.
01:36This is the place.
01:37If you want to wrap up your crawl at the birthplace of Nashville hot chicken, Prince's is the way to
01:42go.
01:42Thanks for joining.
01:43Tell us what hot chicken spot should have made the crawl.
