On our way back from Mammoth Cave, Grace mentioned about Joella's Hot Chicken, and we just had to go because it sounded too good to be true - fried chicken plus hot sauce!?... such a brilliant idea!
Currently, there are only six restaurants in US (and in the World!) - four in Kentucky, one in Indiana and one in Ohio. There are six different spicy/hotness - ranging from Southern (no heat) to Fire-in-da-hole (Inferno), and according to Hannah, the WHOLE kitchen crew will shout at the top of their lungs if you order the Fire-in-da-hole! :D
Hannah had the Tweener (Medium heat), Grace had Ella's fave (Burst of flavor and lil' heat), and I had Hot (Spicy fire). I can tell you - I am happy that I did not get the Fire-in-da-hole! :) The chicken is definitely very hot! The best part of the meal was the piece of bread stacked below the chicken. It had soaked up all the spiciness and oiliness, and it is just pure HEAVEN...it is the last bit of deliciousness when you are done with the chicken and the sides. The restaurant do serve beer as well, but as I was driving back to Chicago, we did not order any.
Price was very reasonable - Quarter chicken was around $8.50 and sides were around $2.09 each. Therefore, it was about $10 per person, per meal (excluding drinks). We just had ice-water, which was free. Very nice, very spicy and crispy.. definitely worth a drive to Indiana again :)
