Manchester Heats Up: Dave's Hot Chicken Opens with Fiery "Reaper" Challenge

Manchester's culinary scene has welcomed a new contender as Dave's Hot Chicken officially opened its doors in the city's bustling Printworks district. The global franchise, known for its Nashville-style hot chicken, has generated considerable buzz, attracting food enthusiasts eager to sample its fiery offerings.One local reviewer, known as "The Burger Reviews," visited the new establishment to put its claims to the test. With a self-professed experience of "over 100 Nashville burgers," the reviewer ordered Dave's number 3 meal, featuring a slider and a tender with fries. Opting for a medium spice level for the slider, the reviewer boldly chose the "Reaper" spice for the tender, a level so intense it required a signed waiver."The freshness of the ingredients and the way the food had been prepared was way better than any other chain restaurant I've dined at," the reviewer stated, expressing surprise at the quality for a global franchise. He particularly praised the slider and the complimentary pickles and honey. However, the "Reaper" tender proved to be a formidable challenge. "One bite and I was completely done in. Seeing stars and looking for the nearest ice cream van," he recounted, describing the experience as a "mistake" due to its extreme heat.Despite the intense spice, the reviewer concluded that Dave's Hot Chicken "100% lives up to the hype," suggesting that while the "Reaper" level is not for the faint of heart, the overall quality and flavor make it a noteworthy addition to Manchester's food landscape.
