Husk, Charleston, SC

Husk’s version of chicken and waffles focuses on the dynamic between waffle and fried skin. Go there, and a combination of skin and waffle is what you’ll find. It’s a dynamic change from what’s expected in texture, but it’s also a charming way to emphasize one of the traditional dish’s most appealing contrasts.

Kozo, Detroit, MI

One of the newcomers to the list is Detroit’s Kuzzo’s. What makes them a particularly noteworthy choice for chicken and waffles devotees is the range of variety they offer. These fall all over the savory/sweet spectrum. A notable offering is the red velvet waffle, although the menu offers many traditional items alongside the dish.

How was the crowd?

The mood at Fat’s always feels boisterous and happy, with toddlers happily coloring between bites of waffles while neighborhood 20-somethings laugh over a drunken brunch.

What should we drink?

Love Bloody Mary? Prepare for a feast. At Fats, the crimson cocktail is garnished not only with celery, but also with cucumbers, olives, peppers and pickled asparagus. From bloodies to mimosas to Moscow mules, cocktails rule the roost.

Main Event: Food. Give us the lowdown—especially something not to be missed.

Start counting carbs from tomorrow. Today, you’re eating buttermilk biscuits—the best in town—topped with andouille sausage gravy or sandwiched around crispy fried chicken. Dig into flavorful grits with shrimp, eggs, and spicy sauce. And don’t forget to order a side of airy, homemade beignets.

And how did those in front of the house treat you?

This lovely staff is quick, friendly, and makes you feel right at home.

What is the real reason why we are coming here?

From family brunch to hungover mid-day pick-me-ups, Fats is the place to be when you’re hungry for Southern brunch staples—cooked with love and generously portioned.

These 8 fall accessories will make sure you’re ready for anything…

For Oak Steakhouse executive chef Chad Anderson, the key to chicken and waffles is simplicity. Focus on the essentials. This does not mean that he is against climate change. “Sometimes we’ll serve it with sorghum butter or pumpkin butter in the fall or with candied roasted pecans in the winter,” he said via email. Choose a great cocktail, and it’s worth looking for an oak take on it.
