"Owned by Top Chef Richard Blaise, think of The Crack Shack as a modern, hipster, casual eatery that takes the humble Chick-Fil-A and kicks it out of the barn and into the stratosphere. This is not fast food, this is foodie worthy chicken sandwiches and cocktails served in a fun and lively vibe. Great for families, and though not inexpensive you always get your moneys worth due to their excellent ingredients and incredible execution on their menu."

This twist on chicken and waffles is not only gigantic, but also complex, with the sage chicken complimenting the smoked bacon waffles, fried leeks, maple reduction and runny yolks. Bring an empty stomach, your patience and a few friends, and your life will be forever changed."
