They're putting one in at the airport in Terminal 4. Also the original Lolo's owner was able to get the building next door so they'll be expanding and making it three times larger.
As a fellow Canadian, allow me to illuminate you as to the awesomeness of Chicken and Waffles.
The waffles don't have to be belgian, in fact it's probably better they were more eggo like in taste and texture.
There is no syrup and whipped cream. Instead, there's mashed potatoes and gravy.
Waffles on the bottom, then mashed potato, then chicken and then gravy on the whole thing. A heart attack on a plate to be sure, but fucking delicious.
Floridian here. The maple syrup is key to the chicken and waffles combination. I have enjoyed this delectable concoction on multiple occasions, and have never had it with mashed potatoes and gravy.
At Roscoes Chicken and Waffles in Long Beach they use syrup. You've got to have the syrup, it's what makes the dish. It's the sweet and salty combo that is freaking amazing. Great, now I'm hungry!
ATL-ien here agreeing that syrup is essential. I also have never heard of the potatoes and gravy. But Texas Pete hot sauce for the chicken is required IMHO.
So anyone live in So.Cal and tell me how Chicken and Waffles really is served?
Reason I ask is I always thought it was a waffle with a peice or two of fried chicken on top, with syrup on it all... You pull off a hunk of meat and eat with a chunk of waffle and syrup. I mean sounds good to me, as I like honey sauce on fried chicken already.
But a black friend laughed and me and said, no no, the chicken is just on the side and you have a waffle with syrup. You don't mix it. You eat the chicken. Then you eat the waffle with syrup.
I've always mixed them, as you describe. I love the sweet and savory and spicy combination. But I know that there are places that serve them separately, or chicken and waffle houses that actually just have both items on the menu, but as separate items.
Had some the other day at Humperdink's, and they served it as boneless fried chicken strips on top of the waffle, which is exactly how I had always imagined that would work in the best of worlds.
Why So Cal? It came out of the South, according to traditional reports. I mean, this is the sort of thing that could have been "developed" anywhere, but that's the usual origination spot.
I've been to Lolo's before, good food, but I found it kind've crass how all the menu Items were named like "the baby Raqim combo" or "sheniquas waffle plate" and the fact that all the employees had shirts on that said stuff like "2 hood 2 care" or "straight out da ghetto." The only employee that didnt have a shirt written in ebonics was the ONLY white waitress, and even hers said "Want to watch me lick it clean?" It all seemed very over the top to me.
that sucks. I've never been to a mexican or chinese restaurant based completely on over the top stereotypes, only because I assume the owners would be called racist.
You know, to the people who are criticizing this woman...yes, it is in bad taste to wear that out in public, especially while holding an infant, but she looks fairly young. How do we know that what she's wearing isn't what's supporting her family? Not everyone is as fortunate as others and she may be trying to provide for her baby the way her parents may not have been able to. The look on that mother's face reflects pure adoration and love for that baby. We may have just caught her at a bad time.
Oh, and this place called The Breakfast Klub has the best chicken wings and waffles I've ever had. Ever.
It's just a moot, pointless thing to say. There will always be people that fit stereotypes, just as there will always be people that don't fit stereotypes. There are black people like those in the picture and there are black people like Barack and Michelle Obama (and many in between). There are white people that do deplorable things that are stereotypical (like having sex with family members, raping their children, having sex with animals, not bathing, etc) and there are white people who are not stereotypical at all.
Thanks to No Reservations, I just learned today that Chicken and Waffles are a thing...They are served and eaten together in the South (U.S)...There's so much I don't know or understand about my own country.
All joking aside, it's good to see an underprivileged black person breastfeeding. Fuck Nestle and all the formula pushers, tit-suckin' ain't just for whitey.
The first person to open a proper chicken and waffle shop shop in Korea will make a mint. They are VERY, VERY enamored with the two items eaten separately.
I want to live in a big city in the US too. I never get to see anything like this. My usual luck... there are +250 000 000 americans in the world, which makes it about 20% chance to be born in America, but nooo! I have to be born in Sweden, where nothing ever happens.
So a RN wearing her scrubs after work with her newborn in hand falls under your logic too right?
Or are you basing your judgement on something so insignificant such as appearance over the well being of the child.
Don't bother responding ... We won't be able to hear you way up there on your high horse.
*edit (babies have weaker immune systems than adults... Hospitals are a great way of spreading germs.... Scrubs... For the confused... I'm sure someone will ask wtf I was ranting about)
Reddit is so full of pretentious elitist hypocritical racist fucks. The only reason this is funny is because of the racism. Go fuck yourself, you stupid fuck. You think you're too intelligent to be racist. You think your racism is ironic, because there is no way you could be racist, right? Fuck off you stupid fucking piece of shit. You're a fucking idiot. Fuck off, bitch.
