Federal Donuts, Local Beer and More from Citizens Bank Park

Posted by Arthur Etchells on April 8th, 2013

Federal Donuts Fried Chicken has arrived at Citizens Bank Park.

Friday I went to Citizens Bank Park to see first-hand how the new Federal Donuts stand would fare as well as to check out the new Alley Brewing Co. on Ashburn Alley.

Being that they are Federal Donuts, the stand did indeed sell out. The fried chicken lasted just as long as Kyle Kendrick, both bowing out after 5 and 2/3rd innings or just short of two hours after first pitch. The whole Federal Donuts brain trust was on hand to oversee the operation. Thomas Henneman told us that the first two on-deck series games were vital in working out the kinks. But some hiccups remained, there were problems with the doughnut batter, the Citizens Bank Park doughnuts were much puffier than those found at the other locations. Henneman wasn’t entirely pleased with the fried chicken either. But as Bob Logue pointed out. Friday was leaps and bounds above where they were a week before and would continue to improve (and of course have enough chicken to last an entire game).

The Citizens Bank Park location of Federal Donuts offers two varieties of fried chicken; chili-garlic glazed and naked. The two-piece chicken box with honey dipped doughnut is $9.75. A two pack of brown sugar and cinnamon dusted doughnuts are $3.75.

Federal Donuts Officially Headed to Citizens Bank Park

Posted by Foobooz on March 19th, 2013

Today, Aramark, the Phillies and Federal Donuts made it official, hot donuts and fried chicken will be available at Citizens Bank Park this year. Aramark employees are currently working at the two other Federal Donuts locations, making sure they have the twice-fried chicken down pat before opening day. As the Federal Donuts team said, they don’t want to dumb down the chicken for the ballpark. Three types of chicken, a glazed, naked and still to be finalized custom dry blend will be available at the Fednuts stand in left field. Hot donuts (no fancies) will also be on the menu. Expect some familiar flavors plus a unique taste, made exclusively for the ballpark. Steve Cook and company are confident they’ll be able to meet the demand.

Federal Donuts is planning to open a stand at Citizens Bank Park. So says the Passyunk Post, which reports a Federal Donuts stand will take up residence in the left field plaza.

Citizens Bank Park has won national attention repeatedly for its excellent and varied offerings. The ballpark has won national awards for its vegan and gluten-free options. It is also received praise for the amount of local craft beer offered.

We can’t imagine what lines for Federal Donuts would look like for for fried chicken at Citizens Bank Park but maybe it would shorten the lines for Chickie’s and Pete’s crab fries.
