The Burnin’ Tales Dinner with the Princes

The Prince Family invites you to pull up a chair and share in an unforgettable evening of heritage, hospitality, and legendary heat. Since 1936, the Prince family has been celebrated as the undisputed pioneers of Nashville Hot Chicken. For one unforgettable night, experience the full evolution of their legendary dynasty—from The BBQ Chicken Shack and Prince’s Hot Chicken to Hotville Chicken—all at one table. Join us this Giving Tuesday as we honor nearly a century of culinary history and the remarkable resilience that started it all.
