Federal Donuts coming to South Philly

We here at Meal Ticket are extremely excited about this one: This summer, Steven Cook and Mike Solomonov (Zahav, Xochitl, Percy Street Barbecue), in partnership with Tom Henneman and Bobby Logue of MT fave Bodhi Coffee (401 S. Second St.) and our dear friend and CP/MT contributor Felicia D'Ambrosio, will open Federal Donuts at 1219 S. Second Street in South Philly. The mostly take-out operation wil specialize in donuts, Stumptown Coffee (the Bodhi boys will handle that) and — yes! — fried chicken, by the half of whole bird, courtesy of Solo. The shop will feature donut varieties ranging from key lime and vanilla cardamom custard to chocolate blood orange cream (!); they'll be sold individually and by the dozen. On the pollo tip: half chickens will run you $8 and whole birds $15, and they'll offer old-school classic crunchy chicken in addition to glazes like black garlic/date molasses and mango/pickle/passion fruit. This sounds like the joint! More for y'all soon.
