Roscoe’s vs. Rosscoe’s: Battle of the Fried Chicken and Waffle Restaurants
Does the name Rosscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles in Chicago sound a little too similar to that of the long established Roscoe's House of Chicken 'n Waffles in Los Angeles? Just a tad, perhaps. Besides the extra "s," other similarities include their logo designs and names of their menu items. The Chicago Tribune says that the original Roscoe's is sueing the Chicago imitator and gives some of the history behind the chicken and waffle restaurant.

The same thing happened in Oakland, CA, a few years ago. There was a "Roscoe's House of Chicken & Waffles" there but if you were a true LA Roscoe's aficionado it was clearly not the same thing. They had to change the name to "Home of Chicken and Waffles." So it's not as good as LA Roscoe's but on the plus side it's open til 4 AM on the weekends...
