    Tbh. I’ve been craving chicken and waffles for months. I was like hell yeah hopefully there’s a event or some shit that might have some for sale…

    Well no… only one place had it on the menu and it was a gentrified restraunt that was charging 25 bucks for chicken strips and a waffle for 28 bucks.

    I was disappointed to say yhe least.

      Is it not common just to make something when you want it?

      Maybe I’m too Canadian to understand but do you usually go out for meals?

        Fried chicken is difficult to make at home due to the cookware and temperatures involved. It’s also a LOT of cooking oil, so it doesn’t really make sense unless you’re frying a LOT of chicken.

          I mean its not the exact same crisp but a small layer of oil in a standard pan’ll still beat waiting months I’d argue

        Millennial Americans will cook, if it isnt too complicated.

        GenZ Americans won’t cook unless it is putting something in the microwave.

          Cooking is not so much of a generational thing and more of a time/convenience thing. Some people just don’t have time to cook. They could be working double jobs, working late hours, etc. And some people just don’t want to cook or like the convenience of take out food. Nothing wrong with that

      It isn’t racist to eat chicken and waffles on Juneteenth. It would be like eating ham on Thanksgiving. You can do it and you can do it with friends if everyone is on board for that.
