FREE FRIED CHICKEN FOR LIFE
(I finally found the Sansom St location the other day and took a photo. It kinda blends in with the old school dated 60s facade of the parking lot that it’s below.)
PHILADELPHIA, PA – On Saturday, July 6, Federal Donuts the trend-setting donuts-and-fried-chicken shop, will celebrate National Fried Chicken Day at its two locations in Center City at 1632 Sansom Street and in South Philadelphia at 1219 South 2nd Street by giving away 10 Golden Tickets
Distributed among chicken orders at both locations, the tickets will
entitle bearers to a variety of prizes, from t-shirts and complimentary
coffee beans and for one lucky person there will be a prize of Free Fried Chicken for Life
“As
Willy Wonka once said, ‘A little nonsense now and then is relished by
the wisest men’ – and in his honor, we’ve created these 10 Golden
Tickets to celebrate one of our favorite things: fried chicken,” says
co-owner Chef Michael Solomonov.  “Federal Donuts has been, from
the very outset, a slightly off-the-wall project, and that’s the spirit
of this National Fried Chicken Day ‘Contest’.”
Starting
at 11 a.m. on July 6, when Federal Donuts starts its chicken service,
every order of succulent, Korean-style fried chicken may contain one of
the ten Tickets.  Each will be redeemable for a specific prize,
including the grand prize of fried chicken for life.  That lucky diner
will win one complimentary order of fried chicken weekly for the
remainder of their days – and the envy of food lovers across the
country, who regularly travel to Philadelphia for Federal Donuts’
delectable birds and ‘nuts.
Restaurateurs Steven Cook and Solomonov, along with BODHi Coffee owners Tom Henneman and Bob Logue, and local food-and-drink expert Felicia D’Ambrosio opened
the first location Federal Donuts location in October 2011, and it
quickly became one of Philadelphia’s hottest meals.  The eatery has been
featured in The New York Times, where restaurant critic Pete
Wells wrote that, “At the moment…Philadelphia’s most dedicated eaters
covet no prize more than a red ticket [for chicken] at Federal Donuts,
with the possible exception of the morning’s last glazed donut.” 
Chef
Solomonov and his chicken and donuts have received national attention
appearing on VH1’s “Morning Buzz” and ABC’s “The Chew,” and have been
featured in Bon AppetitDetails, Afar, Everyday with Rachael Ray which included the spicy PB&J donut as one of “America’s Best Donuts” and Saveur which selected Federal Donuts as one of the “Top 50 Donuts in America.”

Both
Federal Donuts storefronts focus on take-out business.  They serve
seven days a week from 7 a.m. until they run out of food, usually in the
early afternoon.  Chicken is available beginning at 11 a.m. daily.  For
