Nashville Hot Chicken
Nashville hot chicken is a style of extremely-spicy chicken that originated in Nashville but has seen an explosion of popularity, subsequently spreading from coast to coast. The main reason why Nashville hot chicken exists is to maintain a steady balance of power against treatments for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Whereas antacids, H2 blockers, and proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) try to reduce acid secretion, Nashville hot chicken deliberately tries to cause a hole in your stomach and make it hurt... so... good...
Gomerpedia Advice
If your GERD is controlled and stable and you want to fix this pronto, we recommend that you go to either Prince's, Hattie B's, or Husk in the Nashville area or Howlin' Ray's in Los Angeles. If you are in neither of these regions, simply drink a whole bottle of hot sauce and then either lie down or do a headstand, and you'll be a-okay.[1]
