Chicken n Walffles , Durham NC



Anybody that knows me knows that I do not venture into Durham County, but tonight I made a decision to try the night life in the great bull city. Some friends and I went to a restaurant called " Dame's Chicken n Waffles ". When we first got there ,  I was really excited to try the great combination. I mean I love me some chicken, and I am very find of waffles. The question that conquered my mind was "Are they really that good together?"

After what seemed like an hour wait.", we were finally seated. The decor in the restaurant was ok , but it gave you a homey feeling which I assume they were Iming for. I ordered four wings a side of Mac and cheese , and a waffle drizzled with a whiskey creams sauce with a peach and apricot schmear. 

When the food came I was at a loss for words. The presentation alone was so powerful that I foresaw this meal deafeating my taste. Need to say I was right because every bite  set my taste buds on fire. This meal made not only my tongue happy , but also my belly. I left the establishment feeling very sTisfied and very fulfilled.  Here's a picture of my meal . If you are in Durham, NC I highly recommend this place. It's worth every penny. 


 
This Mac and Cheese America changed my life. I've never tastes such light and flavorful mac and cheese .

Lil Kim -Hardcore Mixtape dropping at 9:11


With only an  3 hours away, fans world wide are waiting for the return of the Queen B Lil Kim. I am an respectable Kim fan , but one has to ask  "Is this album needed"?. The reason I ask this is because her last mixtape in my opinion was a poor representation of her legacy. I felt the "Black Friday" lacked energy and all her bars were mediocre . Instead of stickng to the script and reminding her fans who she was, she chose to focus all her energy on Nicki Minaj. 

We all know how Kim feels about her rival, but did we need an entire mixtape of disses? The answer to thT question is no we did not. Since this mixtape is dropping tonight at 9:11, I hope she has some great material that sets the bar as high as she did when she first came in the game. 

So if you are a Kim fan make sure that you log on to LilKim.com to get the mixtape. I'm not sure if it is free , but I know that I will get my copy. I will review the album and share my views on a Roundtable Thought. Peace in the hood, stop the violence!!!!
