One of the best reasons to go out for brunch is for the sheer joy of having brunch. It’s a great time that you can use for some rest and relaxation, to build fun memories with family members or to catch up with an old friend. Brunch food is notoriously delicious. Everyone looks forward to some comfort food, especially their favorite brunch dishes. 

When it comes to the best brunch dishes, one of the most common favorites is chicken and waffles, and no one makes it any better than The Winslow Gin House and Eatery in NYC! 

Chicken and Waffles: Brunch Comfort Food

While chicken and waffles are well known for their popularity across the southern region, their culinary history is actually a bit richer than that. The first known pairing of chicken and waffles as a combined recipe was served in colonial America during the seventeenth century. Even more interesting, the modern soul food variety of the dish is believed to have originated at the Wells Supper Club in Harlem, New York sometime around 1938. 

Nothing says brunch quite like chicken and waffles. Everyone has their own take on chicken and waffles, too. For example, there are such crazy varieties out there as Chicken and Waffles Nachos and Chicken and Waffles Pizza.
