Thought chicken and waffles was a gimmick until my buddy made me try it at 2am in Austin, now I'm a believer
Last weekend my buddy dragged me to this 24 hour diner on South Congress in Austin and ordered me chicken and waffles even after I said it sounded gross. He told me to just shut up and try it, so I did, and the sweet syrup hitting the salty fried chicken was actually amazing. I always thought mixing breakfast and dinner was weird, but now I'm wondering where this combo has been my whole life. We paid $18 for the plate and I would honestly pay double that next time. It made me think about how cereal in milk is basically cold soup, and people get mad when I say that but chicken and waffles proves breakfast and dinner belong together. What other weird combos have you all tried that sound terrible but actually work?

Lived in the south my whole life and the whole thing actually comes from Harlem, not down here. Wells Supper Club up in New York started serving it back in the 30s to jazz musicians who rolled in late and couldn't decide between dinner and breakfast. So your 2am diner run is pretty much the original setup. Also cereal is cold soup and I will die on that hill with you.
