Allie Ilagan: From chef Michael Solomonov, FedNuts has the masses clamoring for its blend of specialty cake donuts, strong coffee and Korean fried chicken. Be sure to arrive before noon; birds sell out in minutes.
CBS Local: Wait on line for the fried chicken; it's worth every minute! Yes, their donuts are also to die for, particularly, Federal's Key Lime. - CBS Philly Read more.
Ian: They open at 7a...Chicken at 11...wings at noon. The chicken is worth the wait. Try the chili-garlic sauce The hot donuts are the best!
