The first Astro Doughnuts opened in DC in 2013, when
childhood friends Elliot Spaisman and Jeff Halpern, the first native
Washingtonians to play for the Washington Capitals, bonded over a love of all
things missing a hole. Halpern and
Spaisman grew up playing the sport together in Montgomery County, MD, often
meeting for a post-game doughnut off the ice.
As adults, the two food lovers forged their childhood pastime into a
local eatery offering lighthearted interpretations of two comfort food
favorites: doughnuts and fried chicken.
Naturally with a name like Astro Doughnuts & Fried
Chicken their specialties include two things….
Let’s first analyze the fried chicken with all its classic fixins’. Mine included a cheddar biscuit (once again
one of the best biscuits of my life), Kimchi Cole Slaw, and Sriracha Buffalo
sauce. The chicken (since I have
recently transitioned from being a veg to a carnivore again) was
perfection! Succulent meat, crispy
breading, and massive in size, it’s everything you ever wanted in a chicken
sandwich.
And then the sweet stuff… Astro Doughnuts and Fried Chicken
offers a combination of four classic daily doughnut flavors (Vanilla Glazed,
Maple Bacon, PB&J, and Crème Brûlée) along with a rotating selection of
specials. When Edible Skinny was there
choices included: Halva (a Middle Eastern honey flavored donut that was super
light and the absolute Fav of the group), Malted Chocolate (that one had a very
cakey disposition), Chocolate Banana Daiquiri (super-duper sweet), and Lemon
Poppy seed (the classic muffin makes its debut in muffin form). Each confection offers a perfect final note
of a kickass meal.
So if you’re looking for the total package on what to pick
up before watching the LA Rams game, Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken has
got your covered!
