10th Annual Kosher Nashville Hot Chicken

The Kosher Hot Chicken amateur teams will be on the field, along with all the vendors and music stage this year. There will be 10 teams cooking this year, and they will offer both mild and hot heat levels for your enjoyment. Tasting tickets can be purchased in advance at the front desk of the Gordon JCC, online, or at the event box office tent.
