Roscoe's comes first in chicken and waffles controversy
Chicago's Rosscoe's agrees to change name after L.A. eatery sued

Chicago's Rosscoe's is Rosscoe's no more.
A trademark infringement lawsuit over two like-sounding restaurant names took one step toward resolution Wednesday. Darnell Johnson, owner of Chicago's Rosscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles, agreed to change the name of his Bronzeville restaurant to Chicago's Home of Chicken and Waffles.
The restaurant has no affiliation with Roscoe's House of Chicken 'n Waffles, a well-known chain out of Southern California.
The agreement came one day after a federal lawsuit was filed in Chicago by Herb Hudson, the longtime owner of Roscoe's in Los Angeles.
Steve Rosenfeld, attorney for Hudson, said he intends to seek damages for infringing on a federal trademark.
Johnson has agreed to remove all signage and menus that contain the Rosscoe's name by the close of business next Wednesday.
"I'm happy as a chicken eating waffles," Johnson said.
Said U.S. District Judge Samuel Der-Yeghiayan at the conclusion of the hearing Wednesday: "I see that both parties understand the issues and facts of life and none of the parties are waffling on the issue."

Gladys and Ron's is alright. Not as good as it used to be, at least the downtown location. I've been to the one in Stonecrest (?) also, it wasn't anything to write home about. I didn't like having to piece together my meal.
I just don't get the Chik-fil-a appeal. Love the waffle fries, but beyond that . . . Maybe I just had my fill of it in undergrad. I had a friend that worked at the chik fil a on campus. He used to bring me bags of stuff whenever he worked til close. My roommate looooved the guy. Whenever dude came through, chicks on my floor would come to my room to get nuggets and sandwiches. Matter of fact, I'm not sure how they even knew he was there, cause I never brought him up. It was like them hoes were on look-out or some shit. They were pissed when I finally told dude I wasn't interested. Roommate was all
, talking bout "you had to go and mess up OUR good thing." 
he sounds like me freshman year...i worked at the old movie theater in lenox and got in good w/ the folks over at cinnabun...every night they'd sit out all the cinnabuns they didn't sell that day in boxes and i'd take those bitches straight to my dorm...was a nice way to supplement my income plus the bitch in me got off on helping those girls pile on their freshman 15 while i was dropping weight

Created in 1942 by Texan Neil Fletcher for the State Fair, a corn dog is a frankfurter or other sausage dipped in a heavy cornbread batter and fried or baked. Corn dogs are often served on a stick for easy eating.
See also hot dog; pigs in blankets.

Sample batter recipe
Ingredients include cornmeal, flour, baking soda, salt, sugar, buttermilk, water, and eggs. For ordinary corn dogs, use a hotdog or weiner. To prepare cornbrats, use boiled wursts that are fully cooked; insert stick and coat each wurst by rolling it in the batter. Hold on to stick. Leftover batter may be kept a few days in the refrigerator.

i've been to spondivits. chick-fil-a is at least chicken... spondivits is seafood and steak.
my question wasn't about you eating soul food. based on the title of the thread, i thought people were comparing chicken & waffles (or waffle fries in the case of chickafilla) spots.
i don't have time to read the whole thing. i don't even have time to be responding to be honest...
i was reading backwards and u just happened to be in the line of fire
sorry....and you said that to say what? Who asked you if you've been to Spondivits?
I said "I'd" rather go to Spondivits than Gladys Knight's. Don't I have the right to say what I want? Why do you care anyway? Did you want to go share a bucket a shrimp with me or some shit??People were comparing Roscoe's with Rosscoe's, but you know as well as I do that sometimes the thread goes off track. I'm from the CHI and they don't have Harold's Chicken and Waffles, so I have no point of reference other than Gladys Knight's. I don't like Gladsy Knight's. I'd rather have seafood. What's wrong with that? ...and how can you compare waffle fries with waffles?
Where they doin' that at?Then you should make time before you start askin' people why they do what they do! Then how/why did you respond?
Well, that ain't got nothin' to do with me and you should be ashamed of yourself.
