Not "who?" but "what?". Safe bet is alcohol.

There was another shooting at my local B-Dubs.

This happens all too frequently, and somehow BW-3's usually keeps a lid on it. Countless fights, stabbings, and shootings, and you'd think the press would be all over it, but nope.

It's weird that one of the most dangerous bars in town is also a family restaurant.

Don't we have some members in Japan that buy things local and ship over here? If so can you PM me?

In Nashville they do Hot Chicken and Waffles. Hot Chicken is a Nashville original that is breaded chicken with hot spices, then fried in lard and lightly coated with a hot paste and baked for a short time. Usually the chicken is dry to the touch but the bread or waffles it sits on soaks up the rest of the paste. It is bizarrely Nashville styled and well worth it if you are in town.

Word. Crisco can suck it.

As far as weird food combos go, I've never eaten a pizza with ham and pineapple that I liked.

Bacon dipped in apple butter on the other hand...and I'm not one of those dudes who loves bacon memes. Bacon dipped in apple butter to me is what cocaine was to Rick James.

Alright so ebay fucking sucks for selling. I'm done with this shyt. Going to be changing over to amazon or making my own website. Sick of getting fucking scammed and it's pretty much impossible to keep top rated status with all the constant jabs at your seller performance for no reason whatsoever.

If anyone one has any suggestions on how to make a website for selling stuff let me know.

That sounds awesome, and I will definitely seek it out the next time I am in Nashville. We do something similar in North Carolina with "dipped" barbecue chicken. "Dipped" chicken is, basically, fried chicken dipped in a barbecue sauce until the breading absorbs it. Keaton's is probably the best, but I usually get it at BBQ King. (It generally comes with bread, but it would be AMAZING with a waffle.)

Also...and as much as I love southern fried chicken...I must admit that the best chicken and waffle I ever ate was at Roscoe's. (The best fried chicken, however, was at Price's here in Charlotte.)

Admittedly it's probably Harlem you should apologize to, and not the South. The soul food variety is believed to have originated there.

I for one welcome it, as I love soul food.

Whatever the case, many modern variants of the dish owe their origins to the meal as it was served in the African-American community in early 20th-century Harlem, New York. The dish was served as early as the 1930s in such Harlem locations as Tillie's Chicken Shack, Dickie Wells' jazz nightclub - and particularly the Wells Supper Club.[4] Harlem-style chicken and waffles have been popular in Los Angeles since the 1970s due to the fame of former Harlem resident Herb Hudson's restaurant Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles, which has become known as a favorite of some Hollywood celebrities and been referenced in several movies.
