This Tiny Shop In Tennessee Serves A Hot Chicken Sandwich To Die For
Hot chicken is a prime meal here in Tennessee. In fact, the Nashville-honed poultry dish has made its way from coast to coast due to its delicious crunch and a spicy bite of heat. The BE-Hive Deli & Market is located in Music City, but the eatery has taken an interesting twist on the formerly poultry-forward hot chicken dish: it’s vegetarian. Yes, you read that right! The sustainably-focused eatery has managed to create a “hot chicken” sandwich that is actually made with seitan, and locals are swearing by its authenticity.
You can’t miss the BE-Hive Deli & Market on Gallatin Avenue in Nashville, Tennessee, mainly because the self-titled "dope plant food" restaurant is painted a brilliant shade of red. The deli and market is known for serving up delicious vegan products both as a meal and to take home to your own kitchen.
Inside and at local retailers you can find BE-Hive goods, from plant-based chipotle chorizo to the popular plant-based pepperoni. Orders are available not only for single families but also for restaurants, hotels, and schools. Even catering companies come to the BE-Hive to get plant-based options for local events.
If you show up to enjoy a meal, you can enjoy weekend specials and classic sandwiches for dine-in or to go. The menu is full of vegan salads, tater tot-based sides, and sandwiches that have made the local news. Why, you ask? Because you can’t order a thing at the BE-Hive without leaving fully satisfied! Everything is delicious, and that’s always newsworthy.
Then, of course, there’s the Fried Chxn Sandwich. Made with a seitan base, you can dress the sandwich one of three ways: plainly, as a simple fried sandwich, as a "Buffalo Boi," dressed in house Buffalo sauce, or as Nashville Hot.
The Nashville Hot option dips your classic sandwich in Nashville Hot spices and dresses it with ranch, onions, and pickles on a bun. You can pair it with anything from Italian pasta salad to nacho tots. Yum!
Will you be visiting the BE-Hive sometime soon? You can snag one of these indulgent vegetarian sandwiches from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day of the week.
What a neat place to eat! This is one take on a hot chicken sandwich no one saw coming, but everyone can celebrate. You can learn more about BE-Hive either on its official website or Facebook page.
