In July we told you about The Coop, a southern concept focused on fried chicken, comfort sides, and mini pies by Chef John Waters of 4Rivers. (Hat tip to Scott Joseph & OBJ). The "southern affair" is slated to open February 2014 at 610 West Morse Boulevard in Winter Park (MAP).
We got a tip-off about where you can sample their chicken & waffles four months prior to opening. Attend the October 5th Jack in the Park event to benefit the Special Olympics of Florida. They will be served there.
