It is a mainstay in the South and I think it really caught on a few years ago when some of the more recognized chefs started to pay attention to it.

With maple syrup and smooth texture of the waffles combined with the saltiness and crunch of the chicken, it is really a unique taste, IMHO.

Don't eat them often, but if done right, very delicious.

I've never had them, but there is a place near me that does maple glazed fried chicken.

Pig cheek is by far the tastiest and most tender part of the pig. And I've eaten every part of the pig, less testicles and eyes.

I'm sure it's delicious, but I think when it comes to I think I'm more comfortable using words that distance the eater from the actual animal. Pork, beef, etc

Agreed, when I had it deep fried at a restaurant. To be honest this was a bit weird though: juicy and tender yes, but despite actually not being too fatty at all it tasted ridiculously fatty, and coated my mouth with grease. Not nice. However, we hadn't seasoned it at all so...

My wife just called this a "Bowl of happy."

A variety of hot peppers pulled from the garden and still warn from the sun.

She's correct. I fricking love chillis.
