Hot chicken: It's what's for dinner. Or what would be for dinner every night if we had it our way here at Food Republic. We highlighted the rules ("commandments") of eating the original Nashville dish and excerpted Andrew Zimmern's essay on the topic. We went all in on the interview front this week, speaking with Mark Bittman about his new vegan startup, Houston's Chris Shepherd about an epic pig's-face dish and Portland's Greg Denton about ten things he hates. Things we certainly do not hate? Swiss cheese and uni-laced bucatini. We covered both of those as well. All that and more are this week's Hot Topics on Food Republic.
