Nashville may be known as Music City USA — and, for a few years now, also as the “it city” for tourism — but how did these nicknames begin?
And if we’re examining what the city is known for, what are the essentials of hot chicken?

A trio of local experts took the stage at the PodX podcasting conference to share what they know in front of a live audience.
Listen along to hear from the Nashville Scene’s J.R. Lind, local food writer Jennifer Justus, and historian David Ewing.
