Scribbles About Food: Chicken and Waffles at The Ale House in Asbury Park

So here's something fun! The Ale House is a really great restaurant... it gets really busy and the service isn't the absolute best... but even still... it's got a great menu with pretty much everything I like on it... good appetizers, fun place for drinks... and just a good place to go all in all.

Anyway... back to my food... There was a lot of stuff on the menu that I liked... but when I saw Chicken and Waffles it was a done deal! I knew exactly what to get and I was super super excited!

The Fried Chicken was boneless and it had a maple flavor to it. It was really good and sweet. There wasn't any maple syrup with the chicken and waffle... which I was somewhat nervous about... but the flavor of the chicken definitely made up for that. It tasted like it already had Maple with it.

There was also a gravy that went on top of it that was really good. It was a white gravy that had bacon in it I think also according to the menu... it didn't really taste like bacon, but it did taste really good and with the maple chicken... it was really yummy.

The waffle was good too. It was just a plain waffle... fluffy, hot tasted really good with the chicken and the gravy... tasted good on its own too... but I tried to get a little bite of everything with it.

Then it came with a side of sweet potatoes... which was good... it was sweet and had some brown sugar... this wasn't the best thing on the plate though. It came out a little bit lukewarm and it was just the least memorable thing on the plate. It went with the Chicken and Waffles nicely... but it wasn't my favorite of everything... it's hard to be with all this great food on the plate... but still.

And they have a nice selection of beers, some good local craft beers. The price wasn't terrible. It was $19 for the chicken and waffles and it was a good amount of food... I was pretty full after eating it and it was delicious! So that was all good!

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
