Buttermilk Chicken & Red Velvet Waffle at SoCo

I’ve been a chicken and waffles aficionado for about 16 years, ever since Matt Merkovich and I stumbled across the Roscoe’s House of Chicken n’ Waffles on Lake Ave. in Pasadena when we went out looking for something different to have for lunch one day while working on Space: Above & Beyond. Since then, I’ve sought out the soul food dish as I’ve traveled around the country and eaten at Roscoe’s about a bazillion times.

But look what they are up to at SoCo in Brooklyn. Behold Buttermilk Chicken and….dayum…a Red Velvet Waffle.

Here’s the menu. Wow. Another brilliant thing they did on the electronic menu is allowing you to Like or Tweet every menu item individually. Here’s another couple of photos, because they are works of art.

Oh, I need a gig in New York…
