Hattie B's - modern hot chicken expansion

Hattie B's Hot Chicken, founded in 2012, opened a flagship restaurant on 19th Avenue South that helped popularize a newer, fast-casual wave of Nashville hot chicken restaurants. The brand’s original Nashville storefront became known for long lines and for offering multiple spice levels, contributing to hot chicken’s rise from local specialty to wider culinary trend. Hattie B's has since expanded to multiple locations but the 19th Avenue storefront is widely cited in contemporary accounts of Nashville’s recent food scene.
