Entertainer Taylor Hicks tastes his way across Tennessee, in search of the state’s most iconic foods. First, he visits a national treasure: Prince’s Chicken Shack in Nashville, to taste Hot Chicken. Next, Taylor travels to The Rendezvous to chow down on some Memphis-style BBQ. Then, he indulges in farm fresh bacon-wrapped snap beans. Later, Taylor cooks up some classic country cornbread over an open fire and finally, he whips up a dish of traditional, creamy banana pudding. It’s a heaping helping of classic country cuisine, with a hint of spice, as we taste the Volunteer State’s most celebrated foods. Tennessee You’ll be the first to raise your hand and taste the good eats in The Volunteer State.
