It would be naive to think that no one has strong opinions about some of the food items served within the dining halls. I myself have some very hot takes about some of the food and options they serve. However, over the last couple of weeks I have had no complaints because since when did commons start serving chicken and waffles themed items?? If this was a thing last year how did I not know about it? I must have been living under a rock. Whether new or not, over the last couple of weeks we have had chicken and waffles, waffle battered fries and just the other night chicken and waffle sandwiches. I would like to be very clear I am in no way shape or form writing a smear piece because I am in love with this theme.
My hope is that this is a cold take rather than a hot take and most people would agree with where I’m standing here. Now, I can’t speak to how good the waffle battered fries are because I myself have never had them. However, when they had the chicken and waffle bar I have never tasted anything more delicious. I have no idea what kind of syrup they had to drizzle over the top but it was phenomenal. Just to add for the record, I do realize that the chicken used for the chicken and waffles is the chicken tenders they serve on tender tuesdays. Though if I am remembering correctly, I have never seen commons so busy in my life than on tender Tuesdays. So if you love the tenders on Tuesdays, I recommend getting some chicken tenders on top of waffles with a dab of syrup on top. There is no better way to end the day than breakfast for dinner.
