[food #4] fried chicken & waffles at Little Skillet SF. B2R (Back to Reality) points: 80

Little Skillet SF:  80 Back to Reality (B2R) points 
http://www.littleskilletsf.com
360 ritch st, sf, ca

little skillet sf is a true hole in the wall.  it has no seating so everything is served in little brown boxes.  it is also on a tiny (hidden) street in the SOMA area of SF so everyone just sits outside.  the place does not serve alcohol, but a wide range of eclectic sodas.

fried chicken & waffles:  very tasty.  the waffles aren't the cripsy kind.  more the doughy kind designed to absorb gobs of maple sugar.  delicious.  the fried chicken is excellent but not the best i've tasted.  some of the white meat was a little dry but overall i'd come back for this chicken. 

biscuits: like the waffles, they aren't flaky.  they are also designed to sop up maple syrup or whatever happens to be on your plate.  delicious!

potato salad/macaroni salad:  great as well.  they really pay attention to the sides here.

bonus:  breakfast po'boy sandwich -- in addition to fried chicken, i decided to pig out and taste one of their po'boy sandwiches.  they ran out of the shrimp po boy so i opted for a breakfast po 'boy.  the sandwich matches the southern recipe of the fried chicken and had true louisana po boy potential.  good sandwich.
