Craving chicken & waffles in Orlando

I'm into the slavering, sweating, addictive stages for some great Roscoe's-style chicken and waffles in Central Florida. The only thing I can find -- and remember -- is Motown Cafe at Universal. Sure some one with a bit of soul can steer me to a better place.

This might be a little late, but the Dixie Chicken at Orange Ave. and Oak Ridge in the Pinecastle area is just what you're looking for. Specifically, for fried chicken. Great spot; been there forever. Can't really say much about waffles. My favorites are pecan waffles at the Waffle Houses, which are common enough in that part of the world.

Ah, but do they have chicken and waffles _together_? That's the question.

The only place of seen it in S. FLA is Cafeteria in Miami Beach. But it the place and the food bear no resemblance to Roscoe's. I have, however, found a place that makes chili like Tommy's if you're interested.

Never heard of any such miscegenation, but I suppose anything is possible.

It's a soul food thing. Your use of the word "miscegnation" up there would probably make Cornel West smile.

I've never had it myself, though I'm up for it if I manage to find a really good soul food place here in Broward.

Don't know about Broward, but there is Rainey's on 7th St. in East Stuart. Also, Ruby's Soul Kitchen on NW27th Ave. just south of 183rd in Carol City. Also, a great place on NW 64th St. near 21st Ave. that's run by a church, something like Heavenly Kitchen. Excellent smothered chicken, mac'n cheese and fish'n grits. Kind of a rough area, though, on the last one. All three of these places are great.
