Nashville hot chicken flavors come to West Chester, and plenty of desserts across the Main Line will satisfy your sweet tooth.

Converting a former bike shop into a sandwich joint presented its fair share of delays and code challenges for Rocco DiPasquale and Jamie Gaffney. But Fire Nashville Hot Chicken was well worth the wait. Nearly double-fisted in size, the sandwiches start with brioche rolls and premium boneless chicken thighs marinated for 24 hours in a buttermilk brine. “The chicken is deep-fried in canola oil, then dry-rubbed with a mixture of spices to personalize each sandwich,” says Gaffney.

Toppings include slaw, sauces and pickles. Also on the menu: Gouda mac-and-cheese bites, cornmeal-breaded fried pickles, loaded tater tots, customized wings, heavenly deviled eggs (with pickle and bacon) and an exceptional house-made carrot cake.
