Hot Chix Santa Rosa
WHERE CALI & NASHVILLE CHIX HOOK UP
Gonnella Family rebel and Union Hotel maverick restaurateur Daniel Gonnella, was thinking one day, with indoor dining shutdown, how can we capitalize on the underutilization of our kitchen? Synchronistically, he read an article on “Ghost Kitchen’s” which have sprung up across the country as a way of utilizing existing restaurant kitchens excess capacity during Covid to increase sales. It reminded Daniel of a recent trip to visit his niece in Nashville and attend a Nascar race.
His niece insisted that Daniel have a hot chicken sandwich, a staple of Nashville. It was the beginning of a love affair between Daniel and all things Nashville Chicken. Nashville is where Daniel also learned that in the South, mac and cheese is a vegetable. “We must bring Nashville Chicken Sandwiches home,” exclaimed Daniel.
Why Nashville?

Daniel began doing research to perfect the Chicken Sandwich. He has been working with four chefs from his food purveyor US Foods and local chef consultant along with our own staff.
