Where: 1219 S. 2nd Street (SE corner of intersection with Manton St), 1632 Sansom Street, 3428 Sansom Street, 701 N. 7th Street, Citizens Bank Park (2nd Street location visited for this post)
Website: federaldonuts.com
Order: Whole order of fried chicken (half “naked,” half sweet garlic soy glaze), honey donut, strawberry lavender donut, vanilla spice donut, cinnamon brown sugar donut
Fried chicken and donuts seem like an unlikely combination, one dreamed up by someone like, say, Homer Simpson (shortly after he came up with the idea for Nuts and Gum). I don’t know how the idea came together, but the people behind Federal Donuts have taken Philadelphia by storm with the combination since its open in 2011. Somehow, the place had eluded me until recently. I stopped in and sampled their wares, and why not, I had three free donuts coming to me for philanthropic reasons.
