There is nothing we love more when exploring the food scene in Florida than coming across a place that locals rave about and will literally stand in line for hours until the restaurant runs out of food. This is the case with Isabel’s in Miami. This coveted food spot has showcased what they’re made of for over a year at the Coconut Grove Farmers Market, amassing a cult-like following looking to feast on one particular item – The Chicken Sandwich. However, while you’re probably expecting piled-high fried chicken, there is a secret ingredient that you likely would not have guessed.

The chicken on the sandwich isn’t even chicken at all, it’s actually a deep-fried Oyster mushroom that is what makes this sandwich pop.

The thing about oyster mushrooms is that when prepared a certain way, there is a meaty texture to them, that many people can’t differentiate from meat products. Also, did we mention that EVERYTHING on this menu is made from scratch?! From the sauces to the meat replacements.
