  • Although it's commonly assumed to be a culinary creation of the South, the origin of fried chicken and waffles is traced back to Harlem, New York, where it first appeared on menus in the 1930s. Decades later, the comfort food is an iconic piece of Harlem's culinary scene, even as its favor has extended well into the South and west to Los Angeles. At Amy Ruth's, the chicken is marinated in a secret blend of spices and crisped to perfection, while the waffle better is delicately sweet and stirred with meticulous attention.

    Chicken and waffles was born in Harlem from the jazz musicians who would frequent the support looking to get food after they came back from their heroin high. One day they already closed the kitchen but the musicians still wanted food, so the cook made them waffles and they begged him for some fried chicken. The jazz artists were the coolest people on earth so the masses followed suit.

    I can't even tell you how much I appreciate the proper mask usage in this video. Everybody was wearing their masks when interacting in person. Even the interviewees had masks on. The only time masks were removed was to eat, and I'd guess the crew maintained proper distancing. This is the only way we'll beat this pandemic. Don't worry about yourself, worry about spreading the virus to other people.

    Two comments. One, Jeanette is a treasure. I love her attitude and approach, and her food is apparently wonderful. Second, to the host, you don't eat fried chicken with a fork and knife. God gave you the best utensils you could have to enjoy that bird....your hands.
