Yeah I’m from the Great Lakes region and it’s so weird. I enjoy fried chicken, I dig waffles… even maple syrup on them is fine (though honey is better on chicken, esp truffle or hot honey).
But putting them together is like basically having double the breading on the chicken, except one half is crispy and the other half is all spongey and wrong. It dilutes the flavor of the chicken, and then why would I ever want a meaty waffle? The sum is far less than the parts IMO.
Midwesterner here… It’s weird to me too.
Very common in Chicago. You can get the basic or get some real posh ones without much effort

You guys got no place to talk with some of your creations. And especially some of the oddball names.
This just two otherwise regular foods served together.
