    Chicken AND waffles a very popular combination. I’ve often wondered how in the world someone happened to be cooking fried chicken and waffles at the same time and tried it out. Chicken and Waffles

    I’d never heard of that. Thanks to Google, I know there’s a chicken and waffle place only about 50 minutes from me: Maxine’s. Careful — it probably autoplays “Welcome to Maxine’s Chicken and Waffles” automatically when you go there (My computer’s set up to never autoplay stuff).NPR has a story about the dish online that aired earlier this year: Fried Chicken And Waffles: The Dish The South Denied As Its Own?. There’s a link in that story back to another story and the reaction to it that got this one run/posted.

    Wow, research takes a while. Rich hadn’t posted when I got here and started to research the subject.

    Gladys Knight (yes, THAT Gladys Knight) has a restaurant in Atlanta that is famous for its chicken and waffles. They’re wonderful at 3:00 AM after a night on the town.

    I’ve lived in the South for 60 years, and I’ve never heard of chicken and waffles.

    I grew up in New England and in my half a century of living had never heard of chicken and waffles before. Guess I hadn’t really lived. Only became aware of it when I recently watched the Mildred Pierce mini series with Kate Winslett. It’s set in Pasadena, CA during the Depression and her character establishes a restaurant serving chicken as the main course with waffles.
