Where to Eat Chicken and Waffles with Fernando Valenzuela

The Los Angeles Dodgers are coming to Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles. Could any moment symbolize so perfectly what we love about this town? The Dodger Community Caravan (not a food truck) is hitting L.A. next week, Monday through Wednesday, to tour area hospitals, local restaurants, and other foundations and give the public autographs, face-time, and the occasional Dodger Dog. Past and present members of the Big Blue Wrecking Crew will appear, from mania-enducing Fernando Valenzuela, Ron Cey, “Sweet” Lou, and Tommy Lasorda, to current players like food-blogger Andre Ethier and his homie in the outfield, Matt Kemp.

The foodiest parts of the Dodger Community Caravan include a stop at ESPN Sports Zone on Monday, where the first 80 fans will get first dibs on priority seating, plus a $25 gift certificate and first access to autographs with a $20 purchase. Tuesday will see the team’s participants visit Trader Joe’s in Hastings Ranch and Wednesday will find Fernando, Kemp, James McDonald and Ramon Troncoso, as well as the Dodgers’ Spanish-language broadcasters, holding a lunch at Roscoe’s at 12:30 p.m. We don’t know whether you’ll have to share your fries with Fernando, but expect to have company if you’re planning to find out.
