Chicken And Waffles, New Orleans-Style
Chuck Taggart of Looka! grew up in New Orleans, and recently had dinner at Restaurant Cuvée, where chef Bob Iacovone served up his take on the classic chicken and waffles: "Coq au vin blanc plus a chicken breast pounded flat with crispy pancetta and pannéed, plus Belgian waffles split and spread with herbed Boursin cheese, and on the side a gravy boat filled with rosemary-infused Steen's cane syrup."
Whenever people ask me what superpower I would have if I could choose, I always consider teleportation—I wish I could go and have this for dinner tonight!

As I understand it, chicken and waffles pops up in LA, NYC, and ATL, and not many other places. Interesting to see haute soul popping up in New Orleans.
