It’s hard to imagine anything better than a plate of hot Nashville-style fried chicken and a cold beer to cap off your work week. And this Friday, Aug. 16, Jay Ducote and the Bite and Booze team are bringing just that to the Capital City with their Hot Chicken on a Tin Roof Part III event. Head over to Tin Roof Brewing Co. 6-9 p.m. for the pop-up and live music, and try Tin Roof’s new Double IPA, Santeria. Pay $14 for three pieces of chicken, molasses mustard potato salad, braised greens, a Hawaiian roll and a house-made pickle.
