Great news!! We need more 'sit-down' style restaurants and this will help the Livernois 6 and 7 mile community!

^^^ROTFL! 'Baked' chicken perhaps!? I love C & W when in the mood. Sorta a tasty combo of sweet and salty savory! A bite of the chicken, a bite of waffle dripping in syrup. I'm getting HUNGRY...

According to Wiki there is another type:

The traditional Pennsylvania Dutch version consists of a plain waffle with pulled, stewed chicken on top, covered in gravy.^[2] It is generally found in the Northeastern United States.

The photo looks awful. I'm glad nobody's forcing me to eat there.

**canuck** · January-25-15, 10:23 AM

I'm Mona have to try it.

**stasu1213** · January-25-15, 10:25 AM

I will be elated when Starbucks, Tim Hortons, or some other type of coffee shop open on the strip. Regal Café didn't even get a chance to open before it went out of business

**Bigb23** · January-25-15, 10:41 AM

I'm thinking of a turkey and pancake franchise.

Fried chicken and waffles, two unhealthy foods, full of fat and carbs. Perfect for already fat folks to load up on and get even fatter and add to a life style already at risk.

**Zacha341** · January-25-15, 12:40 PM

^^^ Well that's a point, which is why I only eat that kind of food once a month or less. Still better than fast food! I am sure they will have other menu offerings. Midtown Eatery [[another chick and waffle place) makes a mean hot oatmeal bowl! Who knows Kuzzo's may have offer gluten free waffles without fried chicken. There is a market for that in the D.

Aw c'mon Rock. Don't you ever go out for a hot fudge sundae?

No one's forcing you to eat there...

hmm.. it's probably a lost cause, but I hope for some egg-free options, so I can try some of their food. I might as well be a martian, longing for egg-free waffles or pancakes [[not to mention fried chicken batter.)

**stasu1213** · January-26-15, 08:40 AM

The chicken and waffle restaurants are a fad and will probably go out of business once the geographic changes in the areas that they are in. I hope that the Avenue of Fashion get better boutiques and eateries such as bakeries, ice stores, a nice sporting goods shop, and a bookstore

**Zacha341** · January-26-15, 11:40 AM

They may make it. There is only one other in the city, Detroit Eatery and it is miles away. On the other hand, a brick and mortar book store can hardly make it anywhere!! Amazon and E-books put an end to that. Only the giants such as Barnes and Nobles are surviving.

Don't forget New Center Eatery [[unless that's the place you're referring to)...

**Zacha341** · January-26-15, 03:37 PM

^^^ Yeah, my bad. I get the names confused. I meant New Center Eatery! Thanks....

**mwilbert** · January-26-15, 05:30 PM

I don't know if it will be successful--running restaurants is a tough business--but it's nice to see another one try. There are gradually getting to be more eat-in places on Livernois. I don't recall there ever being many, as that wasn't what the Avenue of Fashion was about, but there were essentially none twenty years ago.

They aren't a fad in Atlanta. Singer Gladys Knights Signature Chicken and Waffles restaurant is big time down there, with about 5 locations in Metro Atlanta. They serve other food as well.

I'm actually surprised by the sheer lack of southern cuisine restaurants in Detroit, given its huge African American population

Aside from a couple hole-in-the-walls, there are very few places to find decent southern-fried fish/shrimp, soul food or BBQ [[and no, Slows is not what I'm referring to).

They've been popular in LA since at least the '70s [[with the ever-popular Roscoe's), and go back much further than that to after-hours restaurants for musicians in Harlem.

**sumas** · January-27-15, 08:24 PM

I have to agree, areas outside of downtown, mid town and mexican town need sit down eateries. Roses opened on east Jefferson, still haven't eaten there, the business is so booming.

**aoife** · January-27-15, 09:38 PM

Totally off topic but I remember chicken and waffles from an old movie from the 40s--I think "Mildred Pierce"? I always wondered about how that dish is served. Is it good? It seems like a strange combination.
