Nashville Hot Chicken at Hattie B's
by Alex Rivera
Ordered the 'Damn Hot' out of arrogance and spent the next twenty minutes negotiating with my own nervous system. The bird itself is genuinely great — shatteringly crisp, juicy underneath the cayenne lacquer — but make no mistake, this is a heat that files a formal complaint with your ancestors. The pimento mac is the fire extinguisher. Worth every involuntary tear; I'd do it again tomorrow.
