Miss last night's Bizarre Foods America Nashville episode? There was laughing, shooting and a heavy dose of that Music City staple, hot chicken. But have no fear, we've got a recap, in handy map form, of all of host Andrew Zimmern's restaurant stops.

Arnold's Country Kitchen

Zimmern calls his spread at the classic meat and three a "guaranteed plate of happiness," then runs into Ed King, the writer of southern anthem 'Sweet Home Alabama,' who directs him to the squash casserole.

Prince's Hot Chicken Shack

The Bizarre Foods host tries to wrangle the closely guarded hot chicken recipe out of owner Andre Prince Jeffries (to no avail). Jeffries then spares Zimmern from the extra hot for fear he might "disturb the passengers on the plane."

It's Nashville, so there has to be music, as Otaku South founder Sarah Gavigan takes Zimmern to East Nashville watering hole No.308 for some booze and tunes provided by local musician Nikki Lane, among others. Keep an eye out for cameos from chefs Sean Brock and Tyler Brown. Then Gavigan sets up shop the next day at East Nashville's The Silly Goose for the last Otaku South pop-up of the season. On the menu: hot chicken ramen, of course.

Azadi International Food Market

Since Nashville is home to North America's largest Kurdish population, Zimmern heads a little south of town to the Azadi Market, where he gets a first hand look at their bakery operation, as well as tries his hand at the tandoori oven. Local resident and co-founder of Tennessee's American Center for Outreach Remziya Suleyman then invites him back to her home for a traditional Kurdish family meal.
