The whole idea of a sandwich has become too fancy. While there are classic sandwiches with stuffing filled in between slices of bread, there sure have been variations to it. One of the variations in a sandwich is grilling it to make it crispier; the new addition has been making a sandwich with waffles. The whole concept of replacing the boring slices of bread with crisp and crunchy waffles is a game changer.
The Crunchy History Of Fried Chicken With Waffle
It all started in the 1940s when Harlan Sanders, famous as Colonel Sanders, invented the signature fried chicken recipe. Another story states that the concept of chicken waffles started in the 1930s in Harlem, United States at a restaurant named the Wells Supper Club.
