These Farmers Can Cook! - Founding Farmers,Tysons, Va

  Every now and then we visit a restaurant that is so good at everything they do,  we can't wait to get back and try more of the menu.  Founding farmers is that kind of restaurant.  We arrived to the restaurant after a trip to Monticello that took way too long.  We originally reserved our table for 6:00 but ended up having to call back and change it for a later time.  The earliest they had was 8:00. Needless tosay we were starved by the time we got seated.
  Their menu is filled with a lot of tasty food ranging from steaks, chicken, pastas, and even meatless dishes. All their food looked like it was top quality.  After all they are owned in the majority by farmers who wanted to get their products straight to consumers to showcase the foods grown on family farms according to their website.
  After long thought and stomach grumblings, I ordered the roasted turkey with mashed potatoes and cornbread stuffing.  Rebbel ordered the chicken fried steak and mac and cheese.  Both dishes were very good. Well prepared and well presented. It was so good that we wanted to eat there the next day, but we had to make our way back home.
  Founding Farmers has 5 locations in and around Washington DC. We ate at the one in Tyson's Virginia.  I would suggest reservations.  It wouldn't surprise me if they expand to even more locations in the future.

The chicken is a juicy chicken breast piece placed on a savory doughnut.  You can choose either ranch ,bbq, siracha buffalo, siracha mayo, and honey mustard sauce. There is an add on menu where you can choose an egg, honey butter, kimichi slaw, bacon,pickles or sausage gravy for an additional cost.
After breakfast you can get an Old Bay doughnut chicken sandwich.
  We ate breakfast there three times on our recent trip and chose the chicken on a doughnut with ranch sauce. Next time we will try the egg and put some bacon on there too.
The doughnuts are good too.  They have their regular line up of pb&J,Creme Brulee, Maple Bacon and Vanilla Glaze. They augment tose with other tasty combos that change.  This time I tried a cherry blossom that was good.
