Digging Into the Hype: Besa Gordon Visits Fat’s Chicken and Waffles

By Besa Gordon - I’ve been wanting to try this spot for a minute, especially after featuring it on Back2Besa. Since I wasn’t at that shoot, I had to check it out for myself and see what all the hype was about!

The owner, Erica White, and I first met in 2023 when we were both featured on the Jones Soda Black History Month bottle set. So, before I even placed my order, I made sure to sign my bottle, priorities, okay?

Now, let’s talk about this honey butter chicken biscuit sandwich with sausage gravy and an egg… MY FRIEND! I took it home, added a little hot sauce, and BAE BAE, I finally understood the hype. The buttery, slightly sweet biscuit, the crispy, hot chicken, and the size?! I needed a strategy just to eat it.

Since then, I’ve also tried the shrimp and grits, fries, fried chicken, cat fish sandwich (but I ate those two, too fast for pics—don’t judge me) all of them are FIRE.

If you haven’t been to Fat’s Chicken and Waffles yet, what are you waiting for? Pull up to the CD, grab a plate, and prepare for your tastebuds to hit the dougie. Just know, a post-meal nap is basically required after you eat 💤
