Oh how I have missed you La La land

The smog, the concrete, the traffic, and the chicken and waffles. What!?!? Chicken and Waffles? Yes, LA of all places has the best chicken and waffles. There is this crazy little place called Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles that originally started in Harlem and was brought over to LA during the mid 70's.

We went to the location off of Gower (there are 5 locations througout LA) yesterday for brunch. The outside looks somewhat like a boarded up strip club. When you walk in you are greeted by the smell of vanilla and grease with gangsta' rap from the early 90's playing in the background.

Mike was brave enough to take on the "Herb's Special" with half of a fried chicken and 2 waffles, you really don't need to eat anything until the next day. I chose to go with lucky number 13, the "Carol C. Special". Perfectly portioned with one fried chicken breast and one waffle with a 1/4 lb. of butter and delicious cup of home made syrup. I wasn't even hungry until 7 o'clock that night for dinner, and anyone who knows me well, knows for me to be full that long is a very rare occurrence. Thank you Roscoe's for saving us money and the scrumptious meal!
