Seattle's Best Pop-Ups Of 2020 - Seattle - The Infatuation

"This pop-up, which has found a semi-permanent home at Quality Athletics in Pioneer Square, makes some of the best fried chicken sandwiches we’ve tried lately. The chicken’s coating on the “Cookie’s Country Sando” is packed with flavor, and has a subtle crunch that lets the other elements shine—specifically the sunny sauce (which resembles Thousand Island) and perfectly-melted American cheese. And like any good fried chicken spot, Cookie’s serves some excellent sides, like mac and cheese, crispy waffle fries, and the outstanding collard greens. We have not been able to stop thinking about these saucy collards - the first bite is super sweet, and then the heat immediately kicks in. It’s kind of like reading a particularly good literary fiction novel when the author suddenly drops a huge plot twist. Possibly involving collard greens." - carlo mantuano, aimee rizzo
