Chicken n' Waffles

Back in March when I was in the midst of P90x I watched a program on Gladys Knight's Chicken n' Waffles restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia.  P90x is an extreme 3 month nutrition and fitness program.  At the time I knew that chicken n' waffles was out of the question but I told Craig that if I actually finished it then we were going to be having us some Chicken n' Waffles because it sounded SO good to me. lol.  Really I had totally forgotten about it until last week when Craig surprised me with a breakfast date to none other than ... (no we didn't fly to Atlanta to eat at Gladys Knight's restaurant)  Lo Lo's Chicken n' Waffles in Scottsdale.  He had found a Chicken n' Waffles restaurant near by.  SO sweet and thoughtful!  I got KK's special:  3 piece southern style chicken, 2 waffles, grits, and 2 eggs with cheese and onions.  Brooke and I shared and it was still an OVERLOAD of food.  I felt like I left with a brick in my stomach.  It was very delicious and the down south hospitality was great.  Now I can cross off eating Chicken N' Waffles off of my bucket list. :)  If you ever go there get the freshly squeezed lemonade - it was amazing!

I took some pictures with my phone while I was there.  Thanks for such a fun date, Craig.  I Love you!

KK's Special:  3piece southern style chicken, 2 waffles, grits, and eggs with cheese and onions.  Yummy!

I've never tasted better fried chicken in my life!

Brooke loved the eggs and grits the best.

So Brooke likes grits? Wow--I remember eating them in New Orleans. They weren't my favorite, but they were Ok in the breakfast casserole they made us.
