Nashville hot chicken sandwiches and tenders
Chen Chen's
A well-hyped hot chicken spot that, on my visit, was just all right. The hot chicken is decent but I didn't find it as memorable as the reputation suggests. Might need another visit to fully form an opinion.

Our take from the visit
Decent hot chicken but didn't blow me away on my visit. The hype might set expectations a bit high. Worth trying if you're nearby and curious, but I'd put TG's Hot Chicken ahead of this one.
