Herb Hudson, originally from Harlem, New York, opened the first Roscoe's in 1975, bringing the unique combination of chicken and waffles to Los Angeles.

Over the years, Roscoe's has attracted numerous celebrities, including Snoop Dogg and President Obama, who famously visited the Pico Boulevard location in 2011.

While it started in Los Angeles, Roscoe's now has several locations across Southern California, including Long Beach and Pasadena.

In 2016, the restaurant chain filed for bankruptcy protection, but it has since continued to operate and serve its loyal customers.

Roscoe's has appeared in numerous films and TV shows, including 'Pulp Fiction' and 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,' cementing its place in pop culture history.
