"It's one of the only things in Portland that I will wait an hour and a half for outside in the rain at 10 a.m. on a Sunday—which is what you'll be doing, too. This is the largest portion of fried chicken for one person you'll ever see piled on top of waffles and drizzled with maple syrup. You feel absolutely terrible if you eat the whole thing, but it's so worth it!"
