Chicken & Waffles? 

I went to see the new Harry Potter movie this morning with my Mom, Dad, Sister, her boyfriend, Graham, Uncle Bill, and my friend, Andrew. Don't any of these people work? ;)

The movie was GREAT! We all really enjoyed it.

As always, we met at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland. I love this theater. If you haven't been, you should really check it out. It's gorgeous - like The Castro Theater. We have seen all the Harry Potter films, and the new Star Wars films here - all on opening day. They sell tickets in advanced, but really, the crowd isn't very large, and the theater is HUGE. Extra bonus: I read on their website that they were closed Monday through Thursday of this week to install new chairs in all of their theaters. We had the first showing today at 11:30am, so I do believe that we sat in brand-spankin'-new theater seats.

Sweet!

After the movie, we went down towards Jack London Square to a place that my sister had turned my parents on to:
House of Chicken and Waffles.

That's right. Fried Chicken and Waffles - served together on one plate.

A little bit of sweet and crispy, and a little bit of fried and savory.

They also had all the other Southern Standards: grits, greens, mac 'n cheese, sweet tea, etc.,

But how could you pass up the opportunity to eat 3 fried chicken wings served with a waffle?

I made the assumption that this must be a Southern thing.
I was mistaken.
Dick, Pete & Richard (all from the South) had never heard of such a combo.

Christopher said he'd seen it before in the Mid-West.

Who knew?
