What makes a restaurant stand out? Maybe it's the history of the place, dating back decades and rarely changing its beloved menu much to the delight on longtime diners, or perhaps it is because the eatery draws in famous faces along with its everyday guests looking to sample delicious food in an inviting environment. Whatever the case may be, some restaurants offer a special quality that customers just can't get enough of.

Here's what the site had to say about this "interesting" eatery:
"Many will tell you that, if you're looking for the best spicy fried chicken in the US, you need to visit Prince's Hot Chicken in Tennessee — and boy, is this stuff hot. The story goes that the dish was invented after Thornton Prince's scorned lover tried to take revenge on him by adding a significant amount of chili and spice to his favorite fried chicken. Far from hating it, he loved it — and he spent his time perfecting the recipe before opening his own restaurant."
