The photo note
We were super hungry and jumped right into #grubbin' so I didn't get a chance to take a nicer picture! LOL! #roscoes #chickennwaffles #heartattack #greasy #LBC #longbeach #socal #friedchicken #waffles #soulfood #southernfood #foodie #foodgasm #foodforfood…
Looking back
The SD Foodie take
Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.
A round waffle with a scoop of butter sits beside an oval plate of fried chicken smothered in gravy — no garnish, no styling, just the order.
Roger admits they were so hungry they dug in before he could take a nicer picture, and tagged it heart attack and greasy with obvious affection. Sometimes the hurried photo is the most honest review.
The quick critique
What stood out
- Fried chicken smothered in gravy
- A waffle with a scoop of butter
- Too good to wait for a better photo
Bottom line
Archive verdict
A Southern California soul-food classic, eaten too eagerly for a careful photo.
