Cheddar Makes It Oh So Better...

Restaurant:  Cheddar's Casual Cafe in Winston-Salem, NC

Dish:  Cheddar’s Chicken and Waffles

Critique:  This classic humdinger of a dish is made for those who are willing to walk on the dark calorie side. That’s right, these hand battered, crispy chicken tenders are served on top a warm Belgium waffle. Chicken and Waffles.  Who ever thought of this tasty idea deserves an award for the perfect combination. The chicken tenders tasted fine, however The Hotness demanded pieces of dark meat instead of the tenders but Cheddar’s refused this formal request.  To give this dish the extra pizazz it needs, The Hotness suggests maybe serving hot and spicy chicken instead or using unique flavored                                                                                         waffles.

Hickory Smoked Baby Back Ribs & Hand Battered Shrimp with Homemade Red Beans and Rice, Buttered Off the Cob Corn

Critique:  By far, the red beans and rice were the stars of this yummy entrée.  The ribs were fall off the bone good, hickory smoked just the way we liked, and topped with an awesomely tasty BBQ sauce.  While the hand battered shrimp weren’t bad, we would have preferred more of a Cajun flavor.   The corn was sweet and oh so buttery, we’re convinced that the corn was shucked right before coming to the table.

Score:  3 out of 4 Hotties!


Fresh Baked Honey Croissants

Critique:  Oh my goodness! Who loves bread? And who loves warm croissants with a touch of honey butter?  We do!   Not one to keep count, but between The Hotness and Sweetly there were at least 20 croissants devoured.  No Cheddar Croissant was safe during our dining experience.

Score:  4 out of 4 Hotties!!
