Mabel's Chicken & Waffles (Downtown): A Pictorial Essay

Finally tried Howlin’ Ray’s today. So crispy and juicy. I got it in spice level “Xtra Hot”. It burned for a few seconds but it wasn’t unpleasant (TWSS?). I think I’ll try “Howlin’ Hot” next time. The slaw was nice and refreshing.

What does TWSS mean?

chez-that spicy chicken looks delish.

call me what you like, but I’ll take a bucket of pollo campero any day for the price of a few pieces of pricy yardbird…don’t even get me started on popeyes or the king, I mean the colonel!

I haven’t tried KFC in about a year or more. but Im really craving a ten-piece bucket just for myself.

and a biscut or two.

and I haven’t got a clue when I can make it out to the hipsterish/gentrified Mabel’s so far.

and that’s no fucking joke.

“That’s What She Said”

Sorry, I’m juvenile.

Still in operation ???

Both Mabel’s and Comfort LA are on my to-try list but both have such awkward locations and hours that it’s easy to forget about them. I agree with the assessments that until that area around Olive and Olympic get built up, it’ll likely be a gradual fade to black for Mabel’s.

Have you returned to see if it’s consistently fucking good ???

thanks man.

Has anyone fucking been ???

I think it’s a goner.

And that stretch of Olive and Olympic is seriously fucking nutso.

Yeah. It might even be more fucking nuts than yours truly.

A FOR LEASE sign was hanging today above the (closed) curtain, @ about 3 PM.

Yep. That’s what I saw too.

Ok has it closed what’s the fucking deal ???

I wann hit this shit up.

Fuckers ???

Thanks.

Check for yourself and report back to us.

Ok. Tomorrow and it’s no fucking joke.

Dam it. It looks like it’s fucking closed.

Fucccccckkkk !!!

The draw bridge was down around 1240pm on a Saturday.

I’m not sure if I should give it one more try. Next weekend ???

Hm, that was quick. Too bad, I never got to try it. JL, maybe it was like the CSL after all. #chromeshadow

CSL ??? Thanks.

More like the RCF.

Dead on arrival.
