Soul Food in Tokyo! Fried Chicken on Waffles, here we COME!

Feeling like you need some soul food comfort? Tokyo has Got it For You!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIAu4XQZ15g&feature=youtu.be

"Desperate Housewives" star Vanessa Williams joined the opening party for Soul Food Snacks in Ginza.

Some delicious waffles and fried chicken, honey baked ham and more, we are excited to see how the Japanese consumer will welcome this very unique and tasty bit of culture from the US of A.

The restaurant began with cookies and has a huge following and popularity in New York City. What better place to open an overseas joint than Tokyo. I am happy that so many people in the Tokyo Big Mikan (?) will have a great chance to try some delicious tastes of NYC.

Here is the access info for you.
