So who at NBC thought it would be a good idea for the special today to be, among other things, fried chicken, “in honor of Black History Month”?

Because, spoiler alert – it wasn’t a good idea at all. And now NBCU employee Questlove is bringing it to the attention of his 1 million plus Twitter followers.

Questlove, the band leader and drummer for The Roots (the house band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon) tweeted this picture from the NBC Commissary at 30 Rock, with the comment: “Hmm HR?”

Butter or Crisco?

Battle of Puebla? Excuse to drink tequila?

I do not care you can not fix decent greens with anything but smoked jowl. There are places in the south where decent greens ARE part of a religious service

At Chicken Comer’s in Phenix City, Alabama, you could get a piece of fried chicken, bone attached, between two slices of white bread, and sit on a tree stump in the front yard of the place and eat it. Nothing better.

are they going to do Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles for breakfast?

Cuz they didn’t understand that they couldn’t eat the seed animals. They couldn’t have their chicken and eat it too.

Fire up the military plane and get me to NY.

Nahhh, with a good shot of hydrogen, she could float up there, well at least to the mooring at Lakehurst, NJ.

The Mexicans were not the reason why the French left.

I shared the menu with my black co-workers and asked if they were offended.

The responses:

“Offended by what?”
“No, that’s a good meal”
“That’s the food my neighborhood grew up on”
“No, love that kind of food”
“At what? That black folk like chicken?”
“No”

Some of my favorite foods.

They didn't forget the collard greens and chitlins, did they?

I mean, if you stoop to condescension, go all the way!

Very bad idea:

Crisco, higher smoke point so you can really burn the flavor and moisture out of the bird. But if my cardiologist is listening a very small amount of olive oil

[varina davis]

You got that right.
