Fuku's Chicken Sandwich Did Not Disappoint
It's the best sandwich in the world, but it might not be the best sandwich on this menu
At first glance, you might think fried chicken wouldn’t fly in a city where people get legitimately excited to tell you about their celery cleanse. But you don’t support a thriving $45-a-class fitness studio industry by eating vegetables. Which means somebody, somewhere, is definitely dripping hot honey on their Alo pants when nobody else is looking.
That, at least, must be the logic of David Chang, who’s giving Fuku another go in Miami. Fuku - Take Two is on Miracle Mile, walking distance from not one but five Pilates studios*, an Orangetheory, and a LEGACY fit. The James Beard-award winning chef’s chicken sandwich comes to Coral Gables with more hype than a transfer portal quarterback. But we’re pleased to report that this funky Asian fried chicken spot is actually pretty great, and probably the year’s best new way to negate your workout.
* - six if you count Solidcore.
Is Fuku’s fried chicken sandwich really any better than, I dunno, Hillstone?
