Adventurous Brunch @ Hattie’s
My sister and I had a conversation the other day about breaking our habits of ordering the same things all the time. I’ll try almost anything once in the name of new discoveries, but when it comes to everyday eating, I tend to gravitate towards the same types of foods. At lunch, I’ll go for any variation of the turkey sandwich. A meatball sub? Are you kidding? So far from what I’d go for.
So during brunch at Hattie’s, in the spirit of adding variety, I passed on my original choice (french toast with bananas foster sauce) and went for the unconventional Sunday’s special: Chicken and waffle.
A nice, juicy piece of fried chicken resting on a fluffy belgian waffle arrived with the accompanying chili pepper maple syrup for drizzling. Interesting, but in a good way. The combination was a perfect balance of savory and sweet. I liked it and really glad I tried it. And since my sister ordered the french toast, I got to try that too. Everybody wins!

If you liked that, you should try the original Roscoe’s Chicken ‘n Waffles in LA. Next time you’re in Cali you should hit it up!
Hubbard has been dying to try the waffles and chicken thing. I’ll have to let him know Hattie’s has it. Any good brunch drink specials?
So the real question is, are you gonna make Chicken and Waffles at home? Is this your first time having it?
Man I really need to try this. I’m a sucker for the fried and sweet combo. One of my all time favorite combos is the In-n-out french fry dipped in a chocolate shake. Shake-fries. Oh so good!
sorry for the delayed responses!!!
andrea: yes, totally! anthony bourdain went there when he did a show on LA and it looked intense. classic.
margie, no! not a drink special in sight. however, they did have two specialty martinis that looked incredible: key lime pie and a white chocolate and mint “grasshopper” yumm!
deacon-frost, yes, this was my first time. and even though i really liked it, i don’t know if i would make this at home. the calorie count is probably nuts
brian, you already know it, but yes… shake fries are awesome.
thank you everyone for reading!!!
[...] if you read the little dish, you are already aware of this. We previously reviewed their take on Chicken and Waffles, and were delighted. Sadly I was not in attendance on that last visit, so this was my first [...]
