"Fried Chikn Sandwich Isabel’s is a plant-based pop-up I’ve been wanting to try for a while. They bounce around a lot, so keep an eye on their Instagram for their latest location info. But, at the time of this writing, you can find them at the Coconut Grove farmer’s market on Saturdays. Hopefully, when you do find them (look for the pink tent), they’ll be serving this fried “chikn” sandwich, because it was a crunchy little delight - even after hanging out for 23 minutes in our passenger seat. The “chikn” in this sandwich is actually fried oyster mushrooms, and it’s better than a solid majority of Miami’s fried chicken sandwiches using actual chicken." - Ryan Pfeffer, Carlos C Olaechea
