I love Southern fried chicken, and I’m pretty fond of waffles (savoury with bacon and maple syrup, or sweet) but I cannot imagine the combination as working at all.

They’re both a little dry on the outside and soft on the inside. It feels like they really don’t complement or contrast with each other. I’m sure I’d eat it if I had so alternative, but I can imagine how it is a classic American paring. I’d much rather have fries, slaw, or potato salad which all seem to offer a creamy or crunchy contrast.

Am I missing something? People who like it, what’s good about it? Is the secret lots of maple syrup? Are the waffles different that usual? Is it not actually that popular? I’m a decadent European, so I can’t just go somewhere and try them myself.

    I was skeptical at first, but then I saw the option added to the menu of the breakfast place I go to. Didn’t regret it, was delicious.

    The combination of sweet and salty flavors, and the fluffy and crunchy textures was 👌
