Pioneer Square D&E Serves Free Chicken Sandwiches to Veterans
Pioneer Square D&E is serving free fried chicken sandwiches today from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. for veterans favorite neighborhoods for upscale conveniences like fried chicken, braised ribs, local oysters and weekend brunch.
Pioneer Square D & E’s Veterans Day Special includes a choice of an Original or Seattle Hot Fried Chicken sandwich with fries or salad. Fleming said proof of veteran status is preferred – even a photo of the client in uniform is sufficient.
Fleming joined the Army at 18 and later graduated from the University of Washington on a GI law. He worked for the local seafood restaurant chain Ivar’s for 10 years and rose in management positions until he opened Pioneer Square D&E with his wife. In the past, Fleming and Aker have contributed to other veterans’ organizations such as Bunker Labs, a nonprofit that helps veterans start and grow their businesses.
Chain restaurants like Applebee’s, Olive Garden, and Chili’s get discounts on Veterans Day, and Starbucks offers veterans free hot coffee all day.
