This Tiny Shop In Tennessee Serves A Hot Chicken Sandwich To Die For

Hot chicken is a prime meal here in Tennessee. In fact, the Nashville-honed poultry dish has made its way from coast to coast due to its delicious crunch and a spicy bite of heat. The BE-Hive Deli & Market is located in Music City, but the eatery has taken an interesting twist on the formerly poultry-forward hot chicken dish: it’s vegetarian. Yes, you read that right! The sustainably-focused eatery has managed to create a “hot chicken” sandwich that is actually made with seitan, and locals are swearing by its authenticity.
