Don't get me wrong, I'll take a little more.
Ever since the San Francisco Giants found a new home outside of Candlestick Park, I haven’t had much reason to journey down to Hunters Point anymore. But chicken and waffles is motivation enough to make the trek, and I was interested to follow up on a tip that I had heard about Auntie April’s Chicken n’ Waffles on 3rd Street. The waffle, compared to the one I most recently tasted at the Brown Sugar Kitchen, didn’t have the same character or panache, but that said, it did arrive hot and well-buttered, so it was still tasty nonetheless, just not crispy or especially memorable. The fried chicken, on the other hand, was incredibly good, crispy to the last bite, even after I slathered it liberally with hot sauce. The kicker, however, was that the entire plate pictured above was only $6.25, which may speak to the low overhead of Auntie April’s Hunters Point location. If you’re ever headed to the Niner game, this (and a Budwesier tall-boy) would make an excellent pre-tailgate breakfast.
