My friend Les is a fantastic cook, and one night he introduced me to chicken and waffles. It was really good, and it featured a savory waffle, topped with a shredded chicken concoction in gravy. It put to rest the idea I had in my head of chicken and waffles, of some deep fried chicken and some butter-and-syrupy waffles. Much to my surprise, both are actual "things."

Also a thing--and obviously based on the latter dish and not the former--is a potato chip flavored like chicken and waffles. As bizarre as the dish sounds, the potato chip sounds even weirder. But I so want to try both!
