Roscoe's is an institution in L.A.!!!! they've been here probably since the '70s and now have several locations. brunches on weekends are always packed there. i believe the main location is still in Hollywood. yum-yum!!

Roscoe's is indeed the place for chix & waffles - though I gotta say, as much as it pains me, I'm almost always slightly disappointed after eating there. It never lives up to my lofty expectations.

[Christiern]

To me, chicken and waffles will always conjure up memories of many a night spent at Wells, in Harlem. This was the perfect way to cap an evening and the place was always filled with good times. Wells Supper Club (it closed about 9 years ago) had been serving c&w since the late 1930s—it was supposed to be a dinner to breakfast transition, of sorts. All I know is that it was great food in a great atmosphere.

It's a nice machine and you really need something like that to make great waffles. Round is preferred, of course, and don't expect to make more than one waffle at a time since you need (ideally) a great deal of current to hit the right temperature and keep it there. We have a Cuisinart that was only around $30-40 that does a pretty good job.

I agree. I actually think Roscoe's isn't that good.

Waffles from scratch are best, but this mix makes a tasty one.......

I have my mom's waffle machine. Damn thing has to be over 30 years old and still works like a champ. It makes the best waffles; perfectly cooked, everytime. I had to put a new electrical cord on it a few years ago, but it's a serious machine. It makes four rectangular waffles at a time, each one about the size of a postcard.

Rocks!!! I think I'll make some waffles tomorrow morning for breakfast!

Wells conjures up some wonderful memories for me, too! breakfast in the wee hours was the best! one of the first times i ever saw Sonny Rollins just hanging out in the mid-'60s. didn't Shirley Scott used to work there a lot?

[Christiern]

Yes, I recall that, too, Valerie. Jazz was definitely also on the menu at Wells.

I believe I read somewhere that Roscoe's was inspired by Wells.

I've only eaten at Roscoe's once--talk about a calorie overload. I'll give them this much though--their waffles are second to none.

Ah, but will they be 'second to none' in a month, when Soulstation1's product hits the plate (and palate)?

Hell yeah

Snoop and I both groove on grape jelly

Eggos + KFC / Churches does not equal C&W

Went to Dillards yesterday and they had Waring Pro WMK300 Belgian Waffle Maker for $80

Seems like a great deal

I have a Krups, about the same price. I think the kind that flips is the way to go- they create a lighter & fluffier waffle.

Check Amazon—I think it's $70 or 75

But there is something about a design flaw...I'll dig it up.

Here's a link re the alleged flaw.
