Sacramento's inaugural Sac Hot Chicken Battle will be held from 6-10 p.m. June 16, with hot chicken sandwiches from Sacramento's best facing off to determine who will reign supreme. In addition to hot chicken sandwiches, there will be plenty of beer and cider on-hand.

On this week's episode of the Visit Sacramento Podcast, event organizers Lorenzo Garcia and Misty Alafranji share why they decided Sacramento needs this event, why they chose hot chicken, and how you can make the most of what they hope will be an event that will return for years to come.
