Let’s talk a second about a kind of dirty secret of mine. I don’t really like breakfast food. Or breakfast. I mean… I have grown up and grown into it but for the longest time I really avoided breakfast altogether. My parents were never up early enough to make my brother and I breakfast on the reg and if we did anything ourselves it’d cut into our Pokemon-watching time before the bus arrived.
Nowadays though as a working adult with a taxing job I know I need a little something in the morning to get me through lawyering so I’m amenable to yogurts, even some eggs, a bagel if I know I have a big day ahead of me or I’m hungover (which means I have a big day ahead of pulling my act together). This lifelong breakfast avoidance means I LOVE having non-breakfast foods for breakfast. Like fried chicken. Who came up with this? They’re amazing.
For a few dark months Streetbird took away their red velvet waffles in their Chicken & Waffles brunch staple and it legit broke Nate’s heart. Now it’s back with a vengeance and I can 100% get behind this breakfast. Also, when we’ve gone for brunch if I’m feeling another meal (aka Nate orders the chicken & waffles and I know I can steal off his plate) I am also in love with their Crispy Bird Sandwich. It’s the most delicious chicken sandwich AND it comes with tater tots. Heaven.
