Oct. 20 is dedicated as National Chicken & Waffles Day. The day honors the irresistible relationship between fried chicken and waffles, the comfort food that is steeped in African American tradition. This year, the focus lands on seven eateries scattered across the United States, where the chicken and waffles duo contributes to entrepreneurship and cultural pride. By choosing to dine at these spots, patrons not only satisfy a craving for a dish but also pour support into Black‑owned businesses.
Connie’s Chicken & Waffles
Connie’s Chicken & Waffles, the brainchild of brothers Khari and Shawn Parker, is located in Baltimore, Maryland. The restaurant’s claim to fame is its hand‑breaded chicken paired with golden waffles with a crispy edge. Since opening its doors in 2016, the spot has been a fixture at both Lexington Market and Charles Plaza.
