Man, I need to shop in the freezer section more. I have never, ever had Tyson chicken that tasted that good. I'm not a big fan of chairs, so I don't care. I like rubbing up against passersby. It makes me giggle.

Those chicken and waffle sliders are nothing more than Tyson frozen chicken strips halved and put between two tiny waffles. Nothing special. I went their with high expectations, as I love southern cooking, and the food completely blew. Their $10 Mac and Cheese is made with Velveta, and I couldn't make it past four bites of the fake cheese mess. They do have Abita beer on tap though, which is pretty neat, but they have a long way to go. I'll give it a few months to let them work on their cooking.

This place gets mostly trashed on Yelp. Reocurring theme: MORE CHAIRS. LESS VOLUME.

So far The Edison has rocked my world with their sweet potato fries, I wonder if South can beat that.

I LOVE South! And that's weird for me because I usually don't like sports bars. I've been meaning to review it but wanted to wait until they got their bearings since they're still kinda new. But I do like some of their cocktails and love the waffle sliders with gravy and syrup on the side. Also I found that going on off-peak hours, aka early happy hour and on weekend afternoons, is the best time for me. Not crowded, better service, better cocktails, better food and the music isn't as loud. Maybe I'll see you around there, Malingering!
