Chickenholics Unanimous
As part of next weekend's Franklin Food & Spirits Festival, which benefits the Southern Foodways Alliance as well as efforts to save the historic Franklin Theatre, a "Potlikker Film Festival" will show films May 30 and 31 throughout the day from the SFA's archive of documentaries on regional delicacies. Among them is this morsel by director Joe York, who pays homage to Prince's Hot Chicken Shack. It's fittingly spicy, in every sense of the term: you hear about hot chicken's aphrodisiacal properties as well as its health benefits. After all, who needs a master cleanse when you've got a colon full of cayenne? From YouTube, courtesy of WhereTheLocalsEat.com.

I should add that I know of at least two anecdotes which would indicate hot chicken is the exact opposite of an aphrodisiac. Of course, both involve, um...improper hand-washing.
Posted 05/23/2008 at 03:56:30 PMI can add 2 anecdotes as well... one of similar, um, spice issues. Another where the mood was spoiled because both people ended up in food comas from eating a half chicken too fast.
