Chicken and Waffles

Many amazing things happened on the girls trip to Dallas but one just seems to stand out. Chicken and Waffles.

There is actually a lot of history behind this dish. There are several different versions of where this originated, from Thomas Jefferson in the 1790s to freed slaves in the late 19th century. It is one of the best known soul dishes around.

The dish became wildly popular with the opening of Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles. Gladys Knight and Ron Winans also opened a chain of chicken and waffles restaurants.

All I know is the version I had at Victor Tango's was amazingly delicious. I am still having dreams about it.
