It’s dinner time and you aren’t sure where to eat... or it’s Sunday morning and you’re headed to the beach, but you aren’t sure where to pick up brunch. Maybe you’ve been following the news, have seen what’s been going on in the United States, and want to support Black-owned businesses. I’ve got the perfect solution for all of these situations and many more: try out a chicken and waffle sandwich from Rhythm’s Chicken and Waffles!
Rhythm’s Chicken and Waffles is a small business located in Pacific Beach, San Diego. It’s a music-themed, comfort food restaurant, recently voted best soul food in the San Diego Reader. Its menu is mostly centered around their one and only, chicken and waffle sandwich. The chicken and waffle sandwich has fried chicken breast, dipped in syrup, with bacon and cheese in between two Belgian waffles. Personally, I would highly recommend trying it out; it’s delicious! If you’re opting for more of a breakfast feel, you can even add a fried egg. Even if chicken and waffles aren’t your “thing,” they have a little bit of something for everyone, including regular and spicy chicken sandwiches, fries, hot dogs, and burgers.
Brian Foxworth started Rhythm’s Chicken and Waffles as a food truck. After becoming a huge success, he was able to move his business into a brick and mortar location in Pacific Beach. The restaurant is a local, Black-owned spot in San Diego and with the recent events occurring in our country, many are realizing the importance of supporting both local and Black-owned businesses. In fact, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the pandemic has greatly affected Black-owned businesses; 440,000 Black-owned businesses, or 41% of the pre-COVID-19 numbers, have had to close their businesses as opposed to 17% of White-owned businesses. Therefore, it is crucial that we support them. Overall, whether you’re looking for something new to try, to snack on at the beach, or to support local, minority-owned businesses, head over to Rhythm’s Chicken and Waffles in Pacific Beach.
