That trend started in abandoned gas stations in my city. They were "pop-ups" in that they weren't licensed by the city. The ladies would just cook up a bunch of chicken and waffles and have them ready on Sunday noon when people were coming back from church.

Next thing I know, all the "Comfort food" chefs on the Food Network are doing chicken and waffles....

But oh, well. Can't really blame chefs for going beyond their own culture for inspiration. As long as they give credit and also participate in supporting chefs from minority cultures, especially helping young chefs.

BTW, chicken and waffles are wonderful.
