The best meal I ate in Miami! Which doesn't really say much because I ate one meal in Miami (EL OH EL)

At this point, I need to make this a goal:

Eat chicken & waffles in every state to determine who has THE BEST!

After a med school interview that went very well I decided to treat myself! I was only in Miami for 24ish hours so I at least wanted to have ONE good meal.

Although the restaurant was busy it still maintained a peaceful atmosphere! (Minus the couple at the table next to me fighting. Nosey Rosey was in attendance.)

What I ordered:
  • Chicken N' Waffles N' Watermelon (came with honey hot sauce and bourbon maple syrup, that honey hot sauce is something else! I need to look up the recipe! The bourbon maple syrup tasted like your average syrup)
  • Macaroni and cheese
The macaroni and cheese was a hard no for me. Think plain noodles with bread crumbs. I still ate it though, because I try my hardest not to waste food!

The watermelon was perfectly spicy! I'm not sure why but I never thought of pairing the two together! I somewhat wish they gave more watermelon so I didn't have to think about ordering the macaroni to supplement.

The waffles were also okay! There was cheese cooked into the waffles that I didn't really care for. 

The chicken:
  • 1 breast
  • 1 thigh
  • 1 leg
  • 1 wing
This was so much food, but I was starving! I soaked the chicken in that honey hot sauce!

I honestly would have preferred this to be served with biscuit or maybe some kind of vegetables.

Overall, the honey hot sauce was the star of the show. I would visit one more time just to see if the food improves; During the second trip I would order this again but probably split it with a friend. This is on the pricey side so definitely something to split if you're trying to be conservative with your coins on vacation!
