Dee Dee,

Ya had to go and ask me to answer that question? I think it was from
Harlem back from the 1930-1960s but that's just my guess.

Something akin to chicken fried steak and sausge gravy, but yankees with
with waffle irons to add to the mix?!?

It is a Harlem, NYC dish I believe, if I had money to bet on it, that is!


All the best,

Andy
