Im having them for breakfast monday morning. At least, thats my current plan. Im in NYC for a few days, B&H is closed, so I must console myself in other ways. Apr 20 14 07:57 pm Link Ummmm, yeah. O.k. Interesting combination. Enjoy, I guess. ETA: Gastric suicide is not the only way out. There are other options . . . . Apr 20 14 08:08 pm Link If you ever get to Phoenix or Scottsdale, Lolo's is good. In the L.A. Area, I've heard Roscoe's is comparable. Where are you eating? I like looking at menus. Apr 20 14 09:58 pm Link ... Mmmmm Roscoe's. Even the President eats there Apr 20 14 11:16 pm Link Lohkee wrote: Its one of the big trends in comfort food. What kinda rock you hanging out under?

Apr 21 14 06:09 am Link There's a place here in toronto that serves that. I thought it was just that restaurant being weird. Turns out it's been a thing for a while. Looked tasty. A waffle is just a piece of sweet bread (or maybe more accurately a cracker). Apr 21 14 07:14 am Link Sausage & waffles - yes! Chicken & waffles......meh. Apr 21 14 09:04 am Link How the hell do some of you not know what chicken and waffles are???!! They're not a food trend, people have been eating them forever. Especially in the ghetto. It's a great flavor combination, kind of like chocolate covered potato chips. It's sweet and salty/fried. Apr 21 14 09:22 am Link KelliOnLineGlamourNude wrote: Just like you guys eat poutine. Apr 21 14 09:23 am Link Model Sarah wrote: Yeah. I thought it was weird when my brother ordered it. But once it came to the table it occurred to me that it looked bloody delicious. Sadly the chicken batter has milk in it at that particular restaurant so I won't be trying it. Apr 21 14 09:45 am Link Model Sarah wrote: Ugh.

Ever since I was a kid in the south I knew of it but didn't have it for a while. I finally had it and it was just delicious. They are usually beside each other on a plate. I still can't believe some people screw up fried chicken. It's just so easy. Traditional southern fried chicken has buttermilk in it but it needs to be breaded twice. You dredge it in the flour, then buttermilk then either breadcrumbs or the flour again. The way to eat it is to take a bite of the chicken and a bite of the waffle with syrup on it and eat it at the same time. It's kind of amazing. Apr 21 14 10:27 am Link Model Sarah wrote: Amazing. Yes, that is a very good word-choice. Apr 21 14 10:32 am Link Lohkee wrote: No. If I wanted to do that, I'd go to a fair in Texas.

Well, I must confess to having a little fun here. Nope, there is no way that I'm ever gonging to have chicken and waffles together, but I've been known to eat some pretty strange things (I like to put mango chutney along with other goodies in my omelets) so I suppose that I'm not totally innocent. My mantra is since none of us are going to get out of here alive anyway, if it makes you happy, then enjoy it while you can. If it makes you sick then stay away. Apr 21 14 02:42 pm Link **Drooling** Apr 21 14 03:02 pm Link Yes. Had them at Hill County Chicken, which is on Food Networks "Best Thing I Ever Ate". And they were delicious. Apr 21 14 03:05 pm Link I used to think it was the dumbest combination ever. Then I was shooting b-t-s for a travel writer who was filming a pilot and he reviewed Gladys Knight and Ron Winans Chicken & Waffles here in Atlanta and they gave us free food. I told them I didn't want anything and they looked at me like I had three heads. They told me to at least have the signature dish even if it was just to-go. So I got some with a side of fried green tomatoes. It was damn delicious. I don't know why I held out for so long.

One of my favourite restaurants here makes a vegan version. So if a vegan Canadian knows what chicken & waffles are, it is quite telling...

I must admit that I am not really traditional in that I like my eggs wrapped in a nice spicy (hot) sausage and can do without the Worcestershire sauce as it tends to interfere with the sausage. In fact, it's been a while. I think I'll get some sausage tomorrow and have at it! Apr 21 14 04:31 pm Link P I X I E wrote: I'm sorry. I'm old (and apparently live under a rock). Please forgive me.
