If life's a Bitch and then you die, hurry over to Sweet Chick. I went to the one in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. The restaurant is small and therefore there is a wait. Thankfully, we went early enough and the wait was only about 10 minutes or so. Upon entry I immediately noticed that there was no sign of Nas being a co owner. I looked at the menu expecting to see a drink called Ether or a dish called Nah Mean Collard Greens or something. But nope. Nothing indicating God's Son had any affiliation with the Chicken and Waffle Joint.The music was as soulful as the menu ranging from tunes from Sade to EWF. However, if my only complaint is that it wasn't hip hop enough or Nas themed enough...and it is, then hey that's not too bad.
After perusing the menu before being seated as well as while sitting, I decided to for sure get the bloody mary. I mean the drink came with a slice of bacon for goodness sake. In addition, I ordered the Eggs Benny and a side of Carolina grits. The bloody mary was a bit spicier than I'm used to. It was delicious though. The glass had old bay around the rim which always puts me in a summer seafood mood. So, the drink culminating with the unusually warm September morning was the perfect season extender.
My friend ordered a lemonade and the chicken and waffles which is what the restaurant is known for. She said her meal was scrumptious and based on the presentation I'm inclined to believe her. My meal was sensational. I ate damn near every morsel. The Eggs Benedict or as they called it Eggs Benny, was so good. It was prepared in a way that I had never had before. Presented on biscuit half, with shredded chicken, hollandaise sauce, and poached eggs with a a side of potatoes I ate each bite wishing the location was closer to where I lived. The bowl of grits I added to my meal only helped to enhance my experience. Every dish was pleasing to my palate, not to mention reasonably priced. I walked out of Sweet Chicks full and happy.
