New Things #14: Met Her At A Bar

As I march my way towards 240 new things in 2024, I ran into a tricky one because I went to Met Her At A Bar for brunch but it was packed. However, when they get too busy, they open up their restaurant across the street, Met Him At A Bar (it’s a dinner spot) so technically, I ate at Met Him At A Bar but I ate the food from Met Her At A Bar. I’m counting it as Met Her, not Him.

Now that we’ve covered that bit of bookkeeping: Is Chicken & Waffles the most overrated dish?

“Overrated” is probably the wrong word but I feel like I’ve never had GREAT chicken & waffles. Most of the time, it’s kind of ok chicken on a kind of ok waffle. Sometimes, the chicken’s great and the waffles half-assed or vice versa. The famous Roscoe’s is fine not great, although no matter which one you go to, someone will tell you you have to go to a different location to get the real deal.

I can’t think of another dish that has always been so consistently just OK.

Anyway, Met Her At A Bar’s chicken and waffles was another good not great version of the dish. The chicken was salvaged by the hot sauce they served on the side. I devoured it quickly so it hit the spot but I can’t say that I’ll rush back to have it again.
