A Twist on Chicken and Waffles

, , No Comments

With over 87 people a day arriving in Nashville and establishing roots, it’s only fitting that Nashville up its food game. As with the diversity of people, Nashville is currently attracting an equally diverse number of restaurants.  Amongst this diversity is AMOT (a matter of taste) Eatery, which is located in the heart of East Nashville. 

If you come to Nashville, then you won’t leave without hearing about HOT CHICKEN, it’s all the rave. However, I am not sure I can stomach the heat of deep fried chicken soaked in hotness. As I type it sounds even less desirable, but people stand in long lines for soaked bird around here. Yet, I stumbled upon a twisted version of the classic Chicken and Waffles at AMOT Eatery. And if I say so myself it made me happy.

The walls along will inspire you. Just look up, you will notice framed glass with inspirational messages that will uplift you and bring joy to your heart. If that isn’t enough, then the airiness of the open floor plan and bright white walls will leave you feeling a sense of peace.
However, it’s not the bright walls and inspirational quotes that will keep you coming back, it’s the food. If you love Chicken and Waffles, then you might want to try AMOT’s little twist. Step out your comfort zone and embrace change because you won’t find the classic buttermilk-battered waffle, they use cornmeal instead. It’s almost like having a sweet honey cornbread muffin with some chicken. Yeah, that is exactly what it’s like. I was trying to find the exact comparison, and that my friends would be it.  Along with the cornmeal waffle is a perfectly fried chicken breast served with hotness on top. No, it’s not soaked or smothered in heat, but there are a few jalapeños to adorn the beautifully battered chicken breast.  As you can see from my photo, I had no complaints at all!

 Now, it may take some adjusting because the consistency of the cornmeal waffles is a tad bit different. So, if you are a texture person this twist may catch you off guard a little. However, once you get your taste buds settled, then this twist will delight you. Again, think hot cornbread muffins with syrup, a delicious chicken breast, and the heat of jalapeños.

So, if you come to Nashville make sure you make your way over to AMOT Eatery and have yourself a mimosa and their twist on the chicken and waffles, and then tell me what you think.
