Chicken and Waffles

We tried a new restaurant for lunch today: Herman's Soul Food and Catering. (No, we weren't the only white customers.) In keeping with my attempt to learn more about the South, without actually adopting any Southernisms, I ordered a regional specialty that I haven't yet seen at any other restaurant: chicken and waffles (with a roll and a side dish; I chose white beans).

They brought me six, fried chicken wings on top of a homemade waffle, and single-serving packets of margarine and maple syr... Sorry, it was breakfast syrup. (I didn't look at the ingredients then because I didn't want to be disappointed; I see now that I should have, for then I at least would have been prepared for my aspartame-induced headache).

Yankee that I am, I ate the chicken wings first and had the waffle for dessert. I presume that Southerners and soul food aficionados might pour the syrup over both and eat them together. It was worth having once but nothing special. I'd like to go back and try the fried pork chops.
