Traditional
Graze, 1 S. Pinckney St.
The traditional version of chicken and waffles, featuring a crispy breast and thigh, maple syrup and spiced butter. Served at dinner and brunch.
Format-buster
Bluephies, 2707 Monroe St.
The waffle dogs play on the pig-in-a-blanket theme, also borrowing from corn dogs and Monte Cristo sandwiches. Two breakfast sausages are dipped in waffle batter, fried, and topped with powdered sugar and maple syrup. Served at brunch.
International soul
Jordandal Cookhouse, 600 W. Verona Ave., Verona
This offbeat combo features turkey instead of the traditional chicken with waffles — a wing and a leg, gochujong (Korean chili sauce), a buttermilk waffle, maple syrup and sweet ginger slaw. Served at dinner.
