Gris we now live walking distance from the Pasadena Roscoe's.
Booking my trip out west suddenly took on a whole new sense of urgency.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I know I'm totally in the minority here but I just don't get the appeal of Roscoe's.
"Chicken and waffles!"
Meh. For this I wait half an hour?

Uhm. See there's sweet things. And there's salty greasy things. And you usually don't get to combine your vices like that.
It's like a speedball.
For me it's really all about the smothered fried chicken, though. Everything's better with gravy on it.

I like to dip pretzels in vanilla ice cream, thanks to my grandfather, who introduced me to the practice, but I don't know about chicken and waffles. Fried chicken and waffles with *syrup*?

Always Anti-fascist!
We don't have Roscoe's. We do have the Golden Rule cafe which is in a totally bad neighborhood so I haven't been. Although I don't know how bad things get during daylight chicken-eating hours. And it's run by this woman named Louella or something, who's supposed to be quite the icon, which is how I know of it.

Yeah. But the waffles are on a separate plate. It's not like you usually alternate bites. I mean, I guess you could alternate bites, but that's not what I do.
And, as I noted, its really about the smothered chicken for me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh man, now I'm craving chicken and waffles. And I can't have any because I'm eating in midtown tonight.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

But it's awesome waffles and amazing fried chicken! And alternating bites makes the chicken taste moister and spicier and the waffle lighter and richer and it's all. so. damn. good.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

No, waffles with SYRUP. Don't listen to MM, Every unbeliever we have ever taken to Roscoe's has joined the cult. We have a couple of friends who come to LA just for Roscoe's.
