NBC’s “TODAY” show weatherman Al Roker and the SORTEDfood
blog guys pulled into 10th
& Piedmont recently to investigate a hot spot shining on their
respective radar screens: chicken and waffles with a chance of sorghum syrup,
Sriracha and confectioner’s sugar. Roker knows his way around the kitchen as well as he does the weather map. The
SORTEDfood bloggers? They’re clocking miles across the U.S.A. on a
#LostAndHungry eating adventure, following lead suggestions from blog fans. All
three gents join chef Javier Viera and owner Gilbert Yeremian for table talk
and kitchen time to witness how Viera turns the tables on this dinner and
breakfast food combo. The unconventional chef dunks skewered chicken and smoked
bacon into waffle batter, runs it through the fryer and perches the crispy
wonder alongside the sweet and spicy dipping trio. Roker’s camera entourage
captured many a mouthwatering moment for the Wednesday, June 24 “TODAY”
show segment. Convinced that yes, breakfast and dinner foods can share a plate
and loving the “corn dog” approach, the SORTEDfood dudes are now chicken and
waffle converts. (#todayshow, #sortedfood)
10th & Piedmont and G’s Midtown wake up Tuesday nights by offering Breakfast for Dinner -- especially nice for those who are flat out overcommitted on weekends. From 5-10 p.m. on Tuesday evenings, the entire brunch menu and $6 sangria are on at these two Midtown gathering spots. That means the Southwestern sunrise burrito, vegetable panini, Southern-style steak Benedict, 10P Salad, 10P signature chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, garden omelet, Morningside burger, the Feel Good Plate and the rest of the brunch bonanza is all “fare” game. For the record, the dinner menu is not an option during the Breakfast for Dinner special. Pajamas and fuzzy slippers? Wouldn’t go that far...but that’s your call. Information: 404-602-5510.
Who loves chicken? What about waffles with hot syrup as a breakfast staple or late night treat? Our friends at 10th & Piedmont have their hands raised and are concocting a delicious meal to combine the sweet and salty flavors. Skewering marinated chicken dipped in applewood smoked bacon waffle batter and served with North Georgia sorghum syrup, hot sauce and stone-ground grits ($10), this ain't like mama cooked 'em. Make plans for brunch where the chicken and waffles beckon your selection from the menu, along with other specialties such as the Hair of the Dog, The Champion, the Feel Good Plate that just so happen to pair perfectly with bellinis, mimosas and other brunch-y cocktails. It's 5 o'clock somewhere, right?
