My name is Chris Dodge and I live right here in the great state of Tennessee. My family and I are full adventurers filled with passion to see the amazing things our state has to offer. We are avid hikers and have explored many different places in Tennessee and beyond but we are always thankful to be living in such a glorious state.
Our state has certainly seen an influx of new residents and new ideas coming in from all over the place. Some people have brought in some experiences from other states or countries and opened new businesses, while other long-time natives have seen a boost in creativity. Things are changing and growing, that is for sure. For one East Tennessee, native, it was time for a spark of creativity in the kitchen, so Voodoo Chicken in Johnson City, Tennessee, was born.
In downtown Johnson City, the Go Burrito building became available, and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect for Voodoo Chicken’s owner, Jeff Pike.
He had been in the hospitality business for many years, but after selling his previous restaurant, he needed an outlet for his culinary expertise. Taking a homemade recipe for Nashville-style hot chicken and playing around with different combinations allowed for a unique place we can all experience in downtown Johnson City.
You can visit the restaurant and order some delicious dishes for lunch or dinner. This quaint little restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy a meal or take it on the go to the park across the street for a picnic while looking at the mountains.
Orders are made in small batches to ensure freshness and reduce kitchen waste. Everything is made from scratch as much as possible, and the flavor is unlike anything else you can find. There certainly is an authentic flavor that you will find at Voodoo Chicken.
The standard Nashville-style hot sauces start with mild and range all the way up to the hottest, which is called "Oh Holy Ghost," made with ghost pepper as a base.
Other interesting flavors can be found at Voodoo Chicken.
The Cheerwine BBQ Glaze adds an amazing smokey taste to your chicken. The Korean Sweet Chili is a burst of flavor that was inspired by the time the owner's daughter spent in Korea. You could also choose the habanero honey, which gives you the best of both worlds where it is both sweet and spicy. Sauces are not the only thing that this chief has made originally. He also makes an interesting voodoo maple syrup for another take on a traditional Southern meal…
…You guessed it - waffles and chicken go together better than peanut butter and jelly.
For a really special treat, make sure to order the pumpkin waffles. This entire restaurant was the brainchild of one man’s culinary creativity, so it will be worth keeping an eye on this up-and-coming place because there are sure to be new, innovative recipes added to the menu.
