Hot Chicken and race: a Nashville debate

When writer Rachel Martin returned to Nashville, Tennessee after 8 years away, she says everyone was eating a dish she'd never tried before - Hot Chicken. It's been cooked by the city's African American community for decades, and Rachel tells the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Emily Thomas she thinks it's taken off, in part, because white people are cooking it.
