1. S.S. GAI

    Street-style Thai

    A converted car wash in Nashville's industrial sprawl houses vendors hawking Thai street-style fried chicken that arrives impossibly crisp and fragrant with fish sauce and lime. The two- or four-piece gai tod comes with sticky rice and tamarind chili, a formula so focused it leaves no room for distraction.
