Make Rooster Soup Co. a Reality!

On June 11, Federal Donuts and Broad Street Hospitality Collaborative launched a Kickstarter to raise $150,000 in startup capital to open Rooster Soup Co., a philanthropic restaurant.

Using Federal Donuts’ un-needed chicken backs, the team proposes to make superlative chicken stock and provide it at no cost to Rooster Soup Co., which will turn it into a variety of delicious soups to sell. Rooster’s net profits will then fund Broad Street Hospitality Collaborative, who provide meals, essential services, and community to the most vulnerable Philadelphians.

Restaurateurs Steve Cook and Mike Solomonov (ZahavPercy Street Barbecue), along with Tom Henneman and Bob Logue (Bodhi Coffee) and food writer Felicia D’Ambrosio opened the first Federal Donuts in October 2011.  Serving only coffee, donuts and fried chicken, FedNuts quickly earned notice from press, like The New York Times restaurant critic Pete Wells, who called the cake donuts “world-class.” Federal Donuts has appeared on ABC’s The Chew and VH1’s Big Morning Buzz, as well as in Bon Appetit, Everyday with Rachael Ray, USA Today and Saveur, which selected the Spicy PB&J donut at one of the 50 Top Donuts in America.

With just under two weeks left to back Rooster Soup Co., check out the Kickstarter and support them today!
