Last night I posted that chicken and waffles was not a Southern dish but a dish that originated in L.A.\u00a0 Well, I’ve since learned that I received some inaccurate information.\u00a0 Kinda figured that my source on the matter, Skippy, a professional journalist, would’ve bothered to check his facts before he started flapping his mouth.<\/p>\n
Luckily, I have a friend who knows everything – Otto<\/a>, who e-mailed me a link to the Wikipedia page on chicken and waffles<\/a>.\u00a0 There are several versions of the dish’s origin but all signs point to chicken and waffles becoming popular among Southern African-Americans in the 19th century.\u00a0 The recent national popularity of the dish is due to an L.A. restaurant, Roscoe’s, which has been serving\u00a0c&w since the 1970s.<\/p>\n Then again, Wikipedia has been wrong in the past as well… at one point, the entry for “tube top” claimed that a tube top could have a single strap around the neck, which is absolutely, positively incorrect – tube tops do not have straps, as I stress every June when this blog’s theme is Tube Top Month.\u00a0 But it looks like they are right on this one, as they cite relevant sources.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last night I posted that chicken and waffles was not a Southern dish but a dish that originated in L.A.\u00a0 Well, I’ve since learned that I received some inaccurate information.\u00a0 Kinda figured that my source on the matter, Skippy, a professional journalist, would’ve bothered to check his facts before he started flapping his mouth.
