Chick'nCone is a Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania-based fast food chain, founded and owned by Jonathan Almanzar and Josh Lanier, specializing in a portable version of chicken and waffles.[2][3]
Products
[edit]The namesake food consists of breaded chicken strips served in a waffle cone.[4] One of the main features that distinguishes it from traditional chicken and waffles is that it served without utensils such as forks or knives.[5]
History
[edit]Before establishing permanent retail locations in the Lehigh Valley,[3] New York City, and in Kentucky, Chick'nCone was primarily a food truck and catering service.[citation needed] Sometimes considered a hybrid food item following their transition to permanent locations, Chick'nCones have been referred to as "hipster" food,[6] "frankenfood", and "fork-free chicken and waffles" by various media outlets.[7] In 2016, one of the founders declared "We wanna have 50 stores in 5 years. That's our goal."[3]
