Hattie B's hot chicken spice-level jokes

Hattie B's Hot Chicken, known for its Nashville-style hot chicken, opened its original location at 112 19th Ave S and is famous for offering multiple heat levels ranging from mild to 'shut the cluck up.' The restaurant's heat-scale branding and long lines have become a common source of local humor about tolerating spice as a rite of passage. Hattie B's popularity has been noted in local and national coverage of Nashville's food scene.
