Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken

Napoleon “Na” Vanderbilt began developing the recipe in Mason, Tennessee, over sixty years ago, crafting fried chicken that united the community across racial divides. The kitchen still relies on fresh, never-frozen chicken, turning out pieces that are crisp, hot, and juicy. Platters arrive with staple sides like hand-cut fries and freshly shredded coleslaw, baked beans, or mac n cheese, accompanied by blues music and sweet tea.
