For some reason, I was expecting a real taste adventure; something different by the joining of 2 foods (waffles and chicken) that are usually not served together (at least not in the culinary circles i run in). (as an aside, i know the latest wierd fusion attempt is adding bacon to everything; especially sweet things; like in a maple bacon hot fudge sundae.)so i ordered 2 chicken tenders and a waffle and that's exactly what i got!! nothing mind - blowing or anything i'd care to repeat. The chicken was ok with one tender being more tender than the other but it was dry and the breading was absolutely uninspired and tasteless. and the waffle could have been a frozen Aunt Jemima. It was doughy without crispness or a lot of flavor. and the maple syrup was not warm.
Because the chicken was so dry i doused it in maple syrup along with the waffle which led to some interesting intestinal effects.
Bill had a chicken breast and collard greens and he praised the food so much i was almost thinking his came from a different kitchen. His meal was $7 and mine was $9- way overpriced.
I also didn't like the feeling of the restaurant; not very many booths but loads of closely set together tables and tv's on every wall surface and a long bar counter and even though the restaurant was not even 1/8th filled; it was noisy. I can imagine the din on weekends. cock-a-doodle-do.
I like May's Counter and have been there three
ReplyDeletetimes..my chicken was great ...same tenders/
waffle that Mindful Maggie ordered...Hmmmmmm,
mine was good and cooked well, but not dry.
I agree about all the T.V.'s , BIG error in my
mind...I like to sit in the very back...back, back, back..less noise and bothersome foot traffic. Just a comment from you pal and admirer, Needsamind Cosmo
