Hot Chicken Takeover will be located at 244 Main Street next to H&M and offer visitors a unique Nashville hot chicken recipe, classic Southern sides and desserts, and a mission to connect with the local community. The famous and simplistic menu consists of both chicken and vegetarian friendly options of the hot chicken recipe, sides like Ma’s mac n cheese, baked beans, slaw, and an award-winning banana pudding that Food & Wine magazine explained as “light years better” than any other.
“Our Crocker Park restaurant is the first out of market location for Hot Chicken Takeover and a huge moment in our company’s history,” says Joe DeLoss, Hot Chicken Takeover’s Founder and CEO. “The support and enthusiasm from the Cleveland community has been overwhelming. We can’t wait to see this new community gathered around our tables on opening day.”
