Picture Show: The Big Chicken and Waffles of Dallas

It's no dirty secret that combining two already-great foods into one juggernaut food is a staple in this country. So, what's better than to take a fried thing and drop it on top of a breakfast thing? Not much, we'd propose. So, let's embark on another photographic journey, shall we?...

It's no dirty secret that combining two already-great foods into one juggernaut food is a staple in this country. So, what's better than to take a fried thing and drop it on top of a breakfast thing? Not much, we'd propose. So, let's embark on another photographic journey, shall we? OK!

From Victor Tango's to Big Mama's Chicken and Waffles (it's in the name; hell yes), chicken & waffles' soulful offerings are available in many variations in Dallas. To get started, we sent photographer Sara Kerens to photographically study the difference between the two and get some rib-stickin' shots just in time for Thanksgiving. Bust out the Country Crock and napkins -- we think you'll enjoy.
