Dame good chicken and waffles
Chicken? Good. Waffles? Yes, please. Combine them with hazelnut syrup and chocolate shmear? Delicious. It’s what I imagine a five-year-old would make for dinner if given gourmet training.

They offer classic fried chicken and waffles with hot sauce and syrup along with fancier items, which include blueberry and sweet potato pancakes, shmears made with fresh fruit and grilled chicken.
As Bull City Rising reports, Dame’s is having a “soft opening” for lunch. The restaurant’s website, www.dameschickenwaffles.com, is yet to launch. Meals are a bit pricey, $10 to $12 on average, but come with a side and a unique experience.

Great point, Tooth. It is the same place, and I'll have to ask about the syrup next time. My guess is that they would rather waste plastic cups than syrup, in the form of all you can pour. Like you, I'd prefer that they not fill our trash cans full of sticky plastic, so thanks for noting this.
I'm guessing that this place is still operated by the same folks who ran Blue Mountain Catering? Even though the picture of chicken and waffles from Dame's looks a little bit different from the version offered by Blue Mountain Catering, the tell-tale similarity is the syrup served in a little plastic cup.
Seems that if syrup is going to be a staple of that place (and it will be), they could just put some little pitchers of syrup on the tables instead of using all those wasteful little plastic cups.
