Bushell's Fried Chicken Sandwich

Tastemaker

Nov. 2, 2024

If you’ve read enough Tastemakers over the years, you may have noticed a few of our writers have a penchant for a great fried chicken sandwich. Good news from that camp—we’ve found another one! Bushell’s Kitchen + Cocktails of Traverse City opened this year, serving up soul food from their cozy spot on Union Street. It’s no wonder they have the Fried Chicken Sandwich ($15) on their menu, and they do it right. Crispy, juicy chicken pairs up with pickled red onion, greens, house-made pickles, and the restaurant’s own buttermilk ranch. Honestly, the brioche bun is a star in its own right—soft and oh-so-buttery, but still hearty enough to keep the sandwich together. Grab a bite (and one of their creative cocktails) at 127 South Union Street in Traverse City. bushellskitchenandcocktails.com
