“Fried chicken, donuts and coffee belong everywhere¨”boasts Michael Solomonov, co-owner of Federal Donuts and 2017 James Beard Foundation Award winner for “Outstanding Chef." Solomonov along with Steven Cook of CookNSolo Restaurants, coffee entrepreneurs Tom Henneman and Bob Logue of Bodhi Coffee, and writer Felicia D'Ambrosio are the duo behind Federal Donuts. The first location of this fried chicken-and-donut shop, outside of Philly, can now be found in Miami's Wynwood neighborhood.
The menu features “Hot Fresh” out of a donut robot fryer, tossed in house blended sugars and served hot or “fancy” with a rotating selection of imaginative and delicious glazes which cover cake donuts made fresh each morning. Federal Donuts’ twice-fried super crispy chicken (served daily beginning at 11am) is offered coated in dry seasoning, savory glazes or naked.
