Brunch at The Nook -this place is less than 100 yards from my door, great patio, good beer, and pretty decent food. It’s a nice addition to the nieghborhood. So I went to try out the brunch last weekend, and got the chicken and waffles. This is one of my favorite brunch dishes in existence, so my standards are a bit lofty. This incarnation differs from the norm because the waffles are made from corn meal, with some jalepenos thrown in for good measure, so that they are more of a soft cornbread. As is a theme on this blog, I was pleasently surprised at how well this dish worked, with the major proviso that the honey served with this dish is crucially important. Honey really is the natural sweetner to use here as I’m sure anyone would agree that it’s flavor and texture marry well with both chicken (popeye’s/bogangle’s)and cornbread. When you toss in the jalepenos, it all the better. Indeed, syrup would just ruin the dish altogether. Overall, not the best chicken and waffles I’ve ever had, but definitely unique and enjoyable.
