Chicken and Waffles

Because I watch too much telly and I've seen plenty of adverts for Chick-fil-A's chicken and waffles sandwich, I had to check it out.  So I ordered it a few days ago.  Let's just say it tasted weird.  An unusual mixture of sweet and savory.  I didn't dislike it, but I can't say I'll go out of my way to order it again.  It is a quintessentially American dish - who else would combine a breakfast waffle with fried chicken and bacon (you even had the option to pour syrup on it, but I didn't because that would be too sweet even for me).  But I feel like to properly judge it as a meal, I need to try it at a true southern food restaurant rather than a politically-dubious fast food joint.
