All right, Nick. So what are you gonna do is you're gonna take this homemade batter that we make every day. It's a buttermilk mixture, you know, a little sugar, flour, butter oil. Uh Now you're gonna grab some cheddar cheese, cheddar cheese, scallions, scallions and then you're gonna give a nice final uh scoop of another scoop the mixture you were telling me about right? And it comes out nice and sweet where I'm able to use this for waffles and pancakes. Excellent. That's efficient. Let's show you what this is gonna look like. So we marinate our chicken overnight in buttermilk, some fresh herbs, some uh spices. We make our hot honey here. We use uh honey, a little maple and a whole bunch of secret ingredients that I cannot tell you. Then we put the other uh waffle on top and again, don't be shy. Yeah, and this is a big seller here. Yeah, this is a big seller who could pass that up. Homemade fresh creative and it's just about time to eat. That's next. Looks good. Jeff. Hey.
