20 restaurants that will ruin your New Year’s Resolution

13. Sweet Chick — Los Angeles, CA
Ah, Los Angeles, the culinary capital of America where you can get any cuisine your heart desires.
While there is a multitude of places in this sprawling megalopolis where you can eat healthily and maintain that resolution, this city also has a sizable count of restaurants where it will be difficult to eat more healthier fare.
Take Sweet Chick for example.
The West Hollywood diner on North Fairfax (just south of Melrose Avenue) is a hole-in-the-wall that is a local institution. Sweet Chick is known for their chicken and waffles, which rivals the more well-known Roscoe’s Chicken n’ Waffles. In fact, some may swear that Sweet Chick even one up’s its more famous competitor. While that’s up for debate, it can’t be debated that Sweet Chick’s chicken and waffles are something to behold, and would make for a great cheat meal.
There is another menu item that is worth checking out at Sweet Chick, and that’s their version of Nashville Hot Fried Chicken. Yes, the original in Nashville is better, but Sweet Chick’s version does the popular southern delicacy justice and would be great with a waffle.
All in all, Sweet Chick is a cheat meal paradise, one that one may find will be tough to let go of its grasp.
