Familiar with Michael Solomonov long before his JBFA awards, a meal at Zahav still memorable nearly fifteen years later, Station Casino’s announcement that Federal Donuts & Chicken would open at Red Rock created great anticipation even though the quick-casual concept targets an entirely different demographic than the icon of Israeli cuisine.
Solomonov and partner Steve Cook’s first West Coat concept, one originally launched in 2011 with a focus on fresh Donuts, twice-fried Chicken and La Colombe Coffee, guests will find Federal Donuts & Chicken just off the food court with opening hours from 7am-10pm Sunday-Thursday and until midnight Friday and Saturday.
Not a space for ornate design like Pink Box or Wicked, but rather classic Cake Rings fried and topped with quality Ingredients, Solomonov banks on nostalgia with “Hot & Fresh” options including Cinnamon Sugar or Lavender Strawberry, though the best of he group is Cookies & Cream featuring all the flavors of an Oreo ground to dust.
This time partaking in Chicken, three Sandwiches plus Tenders served with a naked Donut, Federal’s Bird is cured overnight in Garlic plus Mustard and double-fried such that the interior is juicy beneath a crunch dusted in Buttermilk Ranch that shines through various housemade Sauces.
Favoring the BBQ Sandwich and not forgetting Fries dusted in Za’atar, more Middle Eastern flare the Baharat in their Donut Batter, it is easy to taste the quality of Chocolate used on “Classics” while a frequently-rotating “Fancy” collection sees Chocolate Orange an ‘acquired taste’ in comparison to tangy Key Lime with textural crumbles on top.
Joining fellow Philadelphian Marc Vetri in Summerlin, though there’s no word as to whether Solomonov will pursue a full-service Restaurant, staff at Federal Donuts & Chicken exudes professionalism and if they suggest either Carrot Cake or “Cereal Glaze” its a good idea to say yes.
