National Chicken and Waffles Day (yes, that’s today) calls for brunch. From hot honey drizzle to bourbon glaze, here’s where to find the sweet-and-savory duo around town.

Amerigo Italian Restaurant
What if we told you Amerigo’s hot chicken and waffles come with two Belgian waffles, spicy chicken tenders, maple mascarpone, berry compote, and maple syrup? It’s true.

Chicago’s Home of Chicken & Waffles
The name says it all — dig into chicken and waffles any way you like with a variety of sweet and savory toppings to choose from.

Marsh House
If you don’t opt for a seafood-forward brunch, go for the bourbon-glazed fried chicken + buttermilk waffle and thank us later.

Geist Bar and Restaurant
This brunch-exclusive meal comes with hot honey and slaw, and the decorated patio is just a bonus.

News Notes

Mansion Monday

Welcome to La Pearla Ranch, 35 acres of Kingston Springs countryside just 20 minutes from Nashville. The gated property includes a main home, poolside guesthouse, and barn — but the finished basement is the real highlight with a billiard room, wet bar, wine cellar, and infrared sauna.

State

Could someone tell where you’re from by peeking into your pantry? A box of Goo Goo Clusters would give it away. The Takeout just named the combination of nuts, caramel, nougat, and milk chocolate Tennessee’s most iconic snack, and it was invented right here in Music City.

Kids

Visiting the most magical place on Earth is getting pricier. Single-day, single-park tickets are rising by 5% at Disney World and 8.7% at Disneyland during peak times. Save a pretty penny and keep the magic by exploring Nashville’s fun-filled, kid-friendly spots instead. (Variety)

Travel

Are you feeling a little extra this Halloween? A quick trip to one of the spookiest cities in the US could be right up your cobweb-lined alley. To see things that go bump in the night — and hopefully, not on the flight — a last-minute visit to Nashville International Airport is the place to start. (CNN)

Sports

The World Series starts this Friday, Oct. 24. Whoever you’re rooting for, baseball just isn’t baseball without a hot dog. Get ready for the action by picking up a glizzy at one of Nashville’s finest establishments.

Try This

Heads up, gamers. Netflix has introduced a slate of video games within the streaming service — including “Pictionary: Game Night” and “Tetris Time Warp” — that allow customers to scan a QR code and use a phone as the controller. Before you rush to the television, solve today’s word puzzles on NASHtoday. (Entrepreneur)

We ain’t afraid of no ghost — but we are scared of flood damage, road hazards, and environmental health problems. We rounded up a few resources to answer the age-old question: Who ya gonna call?
