Chick-fil-A vs. Popeyes chicken wars got your attention? Well, what if local chefs got in on the competition?
Service Bar recently kicked off a new rotating monthly local fried chicken sandwich culinary series — FRIED — which is featuring some of the DC area’s most celebrated chefs showcasing their own epic fried chicken sandwiches.
“With the ongoing buzz surrounding Popeye’s and Chick-fil-A’s fried chicken sandwiches, we thought it would be fun to organize a creative community-centric fried chicken sandwich series at Service Bar – FRIED – featuring some of our favorite chefs in the DC area and giving fried chicken sandwich lovers access to many of the popular sandwiches only available in Virginia, Maryland, and other parts of the District,” says Chad Spangler, co-owner of Service Bar.
FRIED’s first edition saw feasters enjoying critically-acclaimed Chef Keven Tien’s (Hot Lola’s, Emilie’s) Sichuan + Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, a flavorful fried chicken thigh, slaw, pickles, and comeback sauce, served on a sesame seed bun, which will remain available through January 18, 2020.
The series will feature a new local chef and their fried chicken sandwich each month for the next five months. A portion of proceeds from the sales of all fried chicken sandwiches will be donated to each featured chefs local charity of choice. Chef Tien selected Human Rights Campaign.
