Chicken and Waffles!

And from Wikipedia an answer to the burning question of what the heck is Chicken and Waffles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_and_waffles). If you go to the site you will actually find more references, but essentially it is as follows.

Chicken and waffles is a dish, combining waffles, typically a breakfast food, with chicken, sometimes fried, that is served in certain specialty restaurants in the United States.[1] The most famous of these are Roscoe's five restaurants in the Los Angeles area.
It's important to note, however, that there are two types of dishes that go by the name of chicken and waffles. The first type is one not often referred to: it consists of a plain waffle with chopped-up chicken on top, covered in gravy. The most common usage of the phrase, however, refers to the serving of fried chicken along with a waffle, the waffle then typically being covered with butter and/or syrup (as is common practice among those who eat waffles for breakfast in the United States). This unusual combination of foods is beloved by many people who are influenced by traditions of soul food passed down from past generations of their families.[1]

I want chicken and waffles for lunch. Also a big thanks to my research staff for doing the legwork on this obsession for me.
