Has anyone ever had this? Sounds like it could be good.
Does any place around here serve it?
Sure, I suppose I could order a chicken basket and waffles......... |

I saw this on Good Eats the other night and had to question how this became good southern eats. Ahhh...then it came to me...too much beer. |

Yum. It's actually a perfect combination for the same reason people like honey with their McNuggets. My favorite place for this is Pan Pan on Lenox Ave. in Harlem. Really cool old-fashioned luncheonette with a long curving counter that you sit at. |

Amy Ruth's on 116th Street in Harlem.
Very very good chicken and waffles.
I heard it was a Southern fisherman thing.
Coming in off the boats at all hours...
it was an anytime of the day or night meal. |

I don't understand it, either. It's definitely Southern. TS has fond memories of her father making chicken & waffles every Sunday morning. I can't think of anything less appealing.
Then again, I don't like fried chicken.
Try Cracker Barrel; they probably have it on the menu. Or maybe Denny's. I have no idea where either are around here. |

How funny! I know it as true-blue LA food. Just the thought of it takes me home. Has anyone been to Roscoe's?
Yes, it is a fabulous combo! You can't skimp on quantity or Crisco, though. It's not that different from chicken and biscuits, really. |

John's downtown Newark at Halsey and Brandford. Ms. Dees on Clinton Ave in Newark. Priory Sunday Brunch on Market Street, also in Newark. Not from the south, however; as a single person I have come up with a lot of....unique food combinations.

The closest Cracker Barrel is up Route 80 to exit 30, which is Howard Blvd. Worth the trip though!
And as much as I like waffles and fried chicken I wouldn't even think about eating them at the same time. Reminds me of my friends who will eat a thick piece of steak with eaggs fro breakfast... |

Not chicken and waffles, but we had really good (and probably completely artery-clogging) southern style fast food in West Virginia at a chain restaurant called Biscuit World. I'm ashamed to admit that I loved it and wish that there were some around here. I guess it is a good thing for my health that there aren't. |

Evidently, you can have your chicken & waffles as close as Montclair...

In Atlanta, the line outside of Gladys Knight's Chicken & Waffles place is always fairly long. |

The day after thanksgiving we always have leftover turkey, waffles (homemade is preferable), gravy, and usually mashed potatoes. Yumm. I grew up in Central Pennsylvania.
Where I went to college (also in PA) they would have chicken and waffles once a month or so.
You guys are making me hungry! |

Hamandeggs,
I grew in Van Nuys many moons ago. While I was there, I was a frequent visitor at Roscoe's on W Pico Blvd in LA, if that's the one you're referring to. It is a sinfully delicious place where calories-counters need not apply.
Gosh, your mention of Roscoe's brings back a lot of good memories. I recall a wonderful motherly waitress there who used to always insist on ordering my food for me. She was a fabulous person. I wonder if she's still there???

Purplebug,
Are you my husband? You named his favorite local chicken and waffle spots. There's also Jefferson's in Montclair.  |

Da Lat,
I lived a few miles down Pico from Roscoe's. Great hangover grease. I liked that one better than the one in Hollywood. Hollywood was too clean for late morning soul food.
For the great late night grease we would go to Tommy's on Beverly for goopy chili cheeseburgers. That should bring back some memories too. I really miss the quantity of fantastic cheap food in L.A. There's a couple of taco stands that I long for. |

amschwartz,
You're really bringing back all the good memories now. I used to work at Tommy's on Sherman Way in the Valley.
You're absolutely correct about getting great cheap food in LA. Speaking of tacos, remember King Taco on Olympic? Man, that was the hang!
If you went down to SD, nothing beat Roberto's!
Ahhhh, a trip down Memory Lane....

I was a big fan of El Rey's at Adams and Jefferson (I think). Their spicy carne asada taco was awesome and properly served with a couple of radishes and fresh cilantro. There was a small place around the corner from there that introduced me to Negra Modelo. Did you ever check out El Coyote's on La Brea and possibly 3rd. I spent many afternoons on their patio drinking $2 double margarita's.
How about Killer Shrimp. I lived a block away from the one in Venice for a while. Early this summer I found their recipe online and had a shrimp boil for about 20 people. Damn good stuff. All of this is great fodder for inspiring a trip out west. |

amschwartz,
Now you did it. You got me really reminiscing back. I have been to the El Coyote on Beverly. It has killer margaritas. Speaking of Negra Modelo, I wouldn't mind having a six-pack, along with some Pacificos. I have also been to the Killer Shrimp on PCH in Redondo.
Now, I'll take you way back. Remember Oki Dog on Santa Monica and their $3 burritos? or Casablanca on Lincoln? or the garlic chicken at Versailles on La Cienega?
I've got to stop or I'll hop on the next plane to LA...

Da Lat,
Mmmmm. Garlic chicken at Versailles. That place was a bargain and a half. You're making me salivate. I used to go to McGinty's on Wilshire for Curry pizza, darts and a great selection of beer. Your probably right about El Coyote's being on Beverly. I haven't been back in 11 years. Hey, I just realized I closed on my house 10 years ago to the day. Happy anniversary to me. |

greeneyes,
I think I would have remembered the wedding. 
Never been to Jefferson's, thanks for the info. |

It's no match for some good ol' fashioned

2 tbs. butter
¼ cup flour
Salt and pepper
6 slices bread
Melt butter in pan, add dried beef. Cook 2-3 minutes to brown. Add milk (reserve ¼ cup for later), salt & pepper. Bring to boil. Mix flour and remaining milk together. Slowly add to boiling mixture until it begins to thicken. Serve over toast. |
