CHICKEN DREAMS FROM GOD
“The name, logo, and concept for the restaurant were all in a dream from God,” Ashford said. “I went to my computer immediately and got to work.”
It was around two a.m. on a Saturday in late October. L.C. Ashford was asleep in his bed when God sent him a dream about opening up a chicken and waffles restaurant named Cluck & Waffles. A month and a half later on December 5, 2020, at 11 a.m., Cluck & Waffles opened and has been open ever since. Cluck and Waffles is located at 6011 Watson Blvd, Unit 380 in Byron, Ga. Ashford said he knew people would be skeptical and disapprove of him opening a restaurant in the middle of a pandemic, but he did not let those voices stop him. Ashford and his wife Rebecca only used their own money to start the restaurant.
“People said I was crazy and should wait. I thought wait for who? Or wait on what? I didn’t even think about the pandemic. I just focused on what God told me. God is bigger than the pandemic.” Ashford said.
Ashford has also opened a sanitization business called A&C Eco-Solutions during the Covid-19 pandemic. Ashford is also the pastor of Spring Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in Kathleen, Ga. Ashford also runs a food truck called "The Foodie King."
“My plate can be full and often overflows, but God gives me the strength to continue. I love being my own boss. It’s not about multiple streams of income, but it’s a ministry because now I can give other people jobs and help them.” Ashford said.
