About Prince’s Hot Chicken:

Hot chicken is indisputably Nashville's iconic food, and at the food’s center is Prince’s Hot Chicken, a hole-in-the-wall joint on Nashville's north side. By all accounts, Prince's is where hot chicken was born, and the legend goes like this: More than 70 years ago, Thornton Prince came home after a night of tomcatting to find his lady waiting at home, none too pleased. To teach him a lesson, she doctored his Sunday morning chicken with a wallop of spice and coincidentally birthed the now-iconic dish. Prince’s has remained in the family and the family tradition is now continued by Andre Prince Jeffries, great-niece of Thornton Prince. The experience at Prince’s is still as authentic today as it was 70 years ago and led to the restaurant landing on the James Beard America’s Classic list.

About Independence Brewing:

Since opening in 2004, Independence Brewing founders Rob and Amy Cartwright have supported all things local, from community involvement with local nonprofits like Austin Pets Alive and the Sustainable Food Center, to their First Saturday events which promote local bands, food vendors and organizations. The Cartwrights continue their passion for producing beers that they not only personally love, but that come from the highest quality ingredients. The award-winning brewery has nabbed top honors for a variety of their brews, including several Good Food Awards and medal placements at the World Beer Cup and the Great American Beer Festival.
