Bob D., food question.....
We were up in your neck of the woods yesterday. I say your neck of the woods because New Baltimore is closer to you. We had dinner at the boat house grille. On the menu was a combination chicken and waffle. Is that a dish specific to that area? I did try it, and the chicken (dark meat), and waffle were good; just wondering why that is a combination.

Going to have to disagree with you there, Bob...

So they ate both!
You're right about how it was popularized, but chicken and waffles has its American origins in the Pennsylvania Dutch country back in the 1600s, and more or less contemporaneously chicken and quick bread (biscuits, hoecakes, and ultimately waffles) were a standard on southern plantations. There's a school of thought that points to Thomas Jefferson as popularizing it after returning from France with a waffle iron (fried chicken and ham were common breakfast items in Virginia and points south already).
Whatever the origin, it's finger lickin' good, that's for sure.
