Dave's Hot Chicken has a new owner, while El Pollo Loco could get one soon. Plus, is a chicken wrap battle brewing?

In a roughly $1 billion deal, Roark Capital has added Dave's Hot Chicken to its portfolio of Auntie Anne's, Subway, and Dunkin'. CEO of the chicken chain Bill Phelps recounts the company's journey from folding tables in a parking lot to hundreds of locations around the world. The reconciliation bill has moved from the House to the Senate; Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Oklahoma) serves as the legislation's liaison between both branches of Congress and the White House, and he's confident that the Senate's changes to the bill will remain cosmetic, rather than structural. Plus, a moment from Squawk Box made it to the Oval Office, and the state of trade and tariffs is still in flux.  Mike Santelli - 15:12Sen.

In the last 15 years, Nashville hot chicken has become a hot trend. But for decades before that, hot chicken was well known among Nashville's Black community. For generations, you could only get it at the place where it was invented: Prince's Hot Chicken.

Dan travels to Nashville and speaks with André Prince Jeffries, who's been running Prince's for more than 40 years. She talks about Nashville's history of segregation, serving members of the KKK, and the complicated racial dynamics behind this food trend.

Dave's Hot Chicken began as a tiny pop-up, selling spicy chicken tenders and fries from a tent in East Hollywood. Their homemade take on Nashville Hot Chicken was an overnight sensation in a city that had barely heard of it, and within days, co-founder Arman Oganesyan and his partners were working frantically to serve the long lines out front. Since launching seven years ago, the pop-up has grown into a chain of 200 stores, with franchises across the country, and a beloved rubber chicken mascot.This episode was produced by Sam Paulson with music by Ramtin Arablouei.It was edited by Neva Grant with research help from Katherine Sypher.
