Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a very happy and healthy holiday surrounded by loved ones. My sister in law came to visit all the way from London and it was fun to play tourists in NY. We went to Coney Island in the freezing cold to show her a NY beach and then grabbed lemonades the size of our torsos at Nathan’s and had hot dogs. We went to the old fashioned ice cream parlor, Eddie’s Ice Cream Shop in Forest Hills and NY Style Pubs. Lots of walking and lots of eating.
Brent got an Echo for Christmas so we took advantage of our Amazon Music to have a house party on New Years Eve. I cannot believe its 2017.
While this platform is not intended to be political, I just want to express that I am embracing Love and Compassion. If you are here, and you are reading, I appreciate you and I cherish you. Thank you for being part of my life after all of these years. I hope to continue to be here to share stories of deliciousness and most importantly- JOY.
I was promoted in October so work is even more hectic than it was before and if that weren’t enough, I decided Grad School was a good idea. So, starting January 30, I will officially be a Grad Student pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice.
Now that we have caught up, I recently took a trip to a well-known and very hyped location in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Sweet Chick.
My friend Danielle and I left work early on a Friday and hit up this restaurant known for their Chicken and Waffles. They don’t just do Chicken and Waffles though. They have a wide variety of waffles- from sweet to savory. Bacon and Cheddar Waffles. Buttermilk. Mushroom. Dried Cherry. etc. You can even choose the way you want your chicken. Buffalo, parmesan, etc.
I decided the best bet was trying the classic buttermilk waffle with fried chicken.
Nice presentation. It even came with 3 flavored butters and syrup. But in all honesty, this was way overpriced. For 1 waffle and 2 small pieces of chicken, the plate set me back $17. Perhaps a chicken wing would have made me happier.
But also the chicken was just okay. It was good but not something I would wait in line for hours to eat.
Danielle decided to have the shrimp and grits. I must say, THIS was actually delicious. When we dine, we usually discuss two dishes we would both like to try and then split our choices; the best of both worlds, really. The bowl of shrimp and grits was $17, as well.
We both agreed the Shrimp and Grits was far more superior and much more satisfying- even the half portion we both had.
So, would I return.
Yes. But if, and only if, there is no wait. Especially with all the other options on Bedford Street in Williamsburg with great food.
Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease.

Just catching up on blogging. Happy New Year and good luck in school!
$17 for what looked like an appetizer? Bedford Ave has officially jumped the shark. Even though I don’t eat meats anymore I can appreciate good fried chicken though. I would have been starving after that small plate of food. Bob White is the shizz!
