Lou’s Food Bar
Competing Chicken
Restaurant: Lou’s Food Bar
Category: Fried
Located in the vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood, Lou’s is a Nashville-style hot chicken joint from Chef Frank Bonanno. Frank was cooking at Nashville Food and Wine with Johnny Drama and they went on this tour of face-melting, fire-burping fried chicken joints—places like Hattie B’s and Prince’s that have been frying hot chicken for generations. Frank fried variations of spicy chicken and settled on a crispy take that we served up in our neighborhood spot, Lou’s.
