During the pandemic, food trucks have become an oasis for safe, distanced dining. Hurt’s Hot Chicken, often stationed in Mt. Juliet and occasionally roving to other spots like Bellevue, is your best bet right now for the classic Nashville dish on wheels. The rich breading and careful spicing give you a crunch and a pop without too much hoopla, and owner Lamont Hurt understands how to make the batter sweet without it being too overwhelming to the flavor. The lemon pepper fries pair so nicely with the dish, and recently, Hurt has added a delicious-looking hot chicken pizza to his menu. CORY WOODROOF
