Fried Chicken and Waffles | Breadwinner's Cafe
A bucket list brunch dish to try in Dallas, we love Breadwinner's Cafe version because 1) it's delightful and 2) because Breadwinner's Cafe is a classic for Southern fare in the metroplex! They make theirs with jalapeño bacon cheddar waffles topped with crispy chicken, cream gravy, hot sauce and maple syrup - yum!
