Can't help much, except there's a chicken and waffle restaurant in 
Alameda, an island city in the San Francisco Bay just off the shore 
of Oakland. There was, until recently, a naval station there, now 
closed down, and also until recently the major employer. It's a town 
of nice Victorian homes, and a certain amount of build up due to 
WWII, although there are some Art Deco buildings there, too - and 
very recently high-tech industry with concomitant condos over looking 
the Bay.

And Ole's Chicken and Waffles - i haven't managed to eat there yet, 
but i'm planning on it. Perhaps i can learn a bit of the history 
(then, again, maybe just myth-information)
