Waffle trouble!
We told you about Chicago's Rosscoe's last week, the new Bronzeville chicken and waffles joint. The place is not related to the Los Angeles-based Roscoe's House of Chicken 'n Waffles, but owner Darnell Johnson says he got sign off from the L.A. owners to use the name when he opened a version of it in New York (which has since closed.)
But according to a story in today's Chicago Tribune, turns out Roscoe’s House of Chicken 'n Waffles isn't so crazy about the similar name now cropping up in Chicago. The L.A. Roscoe's had hoped to bring their concept here in 2009. The Trib quotes the one-"s" Roscoe's owner Herb Hudson as saying he's going to sue Chicago's two-"s" Rosscoe's "to the hilt."
Yikes. But it also sounds like a name change might be in the works for Rosscoe's: "I would go to Chicago's House of Chicken and Waffles," Johnson told the Trib. "I have no problem with that. I like that name better!" Johnson says it's just a matter of expense when it comes to signage.
We hope it works out: We really liked our visit and hope this town is big enough for two chicken and waffles joints.
