I have to agree — I’m from Philadelphia and I had never heard of this chicken & waffles phenomenon until the intranets.

I’m not sold. Chicken and waffles would make for a very foul-smelling, structurally unsound house. And you just know it doesn’t insulate well.

Weren’t Kevin and Mike sitting across from you when you ate there? Don’t tell me you snuck out and ate crunchy waffles and robustly crispy chicken legs without your riffing comrades in, er, riffing?

There is a special ring of Hell, Bill Corbett, reserved just for people who fail to invite riffing pals out for a day/night of chicken and waffle munching.

All I can hear is Roscoe P. Coltrane going “Gee gee gee!” And now I see it’s on Gower Street so now I’m hearing “Don’t hit my bad ear, Mr. Gower!” I watch too much tv.

The time I went to Roscoe’s, this exact one as well, it was around 12:30 on a lazy sunday afternoon. There was a huge wait, we ended up waiting at least 40 minutes, and there was a vast and diverse assortment of other people waiting as well. Some guy in a huge escalade drove by, observed the line and yelled out his window “Shit ain’t THAT good!!!” which I thought was just about the coolest thing ever.

It was delicious though.

Somehow the satellite picture fails to convey a sense of deliciousness…

Recently on “‘Til Death”, they went to a place (supposedly in Philadelphia) that served CHICKEN AND WAFFLES!

Of course this is no coincidence, but for the love of everything that is holy I live around Philly and there is no such thing! Argh!

And I’m so fat that when I say I live around Philly…

Oh, never mind and hand me the stupid cheesesteak.

I’ve eaten there! That exact one.

They have chicken. And waffles. And more chicken.

Is that a corpse on the roof of the building to the left? Looks flesh-colored…could be a nudist.

There was a Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles just down the street from where I used to live in Oakland — apparently the Raiders used to like to eat there en mass. Unfortunately, by the time I actually decided I was going to go there, it had mysteriously closed down.

There’s a place here in Baltimore called “Chicken, Steak, and Chocolate Cake”. I should say there was, because it’s never been open during the 5+ years I’ve lived here and I assume it closed down long ago, but the sign is still up and seems mysteriously well-maintained.

Haha! There was a restaurant in Chicago, in Pilsen (south side) that was recently involved in a lawsuit for stealing the chicken+waffles concept and the name… they had it called Rosscoes House of Chicken and Waffles.

I’m just glad we have another way to keep enticing Kevin out here to the west coast.

Now if we can just get Bill to try a Double-Double Animal Style, we should be able to organize “Will Riff for Food” events on a regular basis.

Kevin, I can top that with another LA place: Mongol King, on Gayley Ave. just down the street from UCLA. Best mongolian food ever, the cooks have been there for over 20 years.

Tip them well, for I miss the place and want it to still be there when I get a chance to fly back.
