It's a food truck, so you know they've got something special, right? And when they line up several…read morefood trucks, then it's just sensory overload, but whatever.
The Waffler is preparing Euro street food in the form of Liege waffles (you may know them better as Belgian-style) and these fluffy, yeast-assisted, waffled discs are sensational platforms for multiple purposes. Whether you are wandering the streets of Brussels or Lenexa, the art of the Liege waffle is timeless. You can top them with fruit, spread on peanut butter or Nutella (my daughter's jam), or get your Southern funk on by dropping a piece of fried chicken on a stack. Liege style waffles are light enough to hold the crunch even after fruits are dropped on and sturdy enough to support chicken and gravy. Think of their culinary utility much the same as a tortilla, only with a different skill to the prep and a more robust flavor.
This Waffler encounter had us sampling the basics, the vanilla waffle for me and my foodie sidekick with an orange-infused options. Both were delightful, dusted with powdered sugar, crisp, light, and classic. The vanilla went down so easily that I had to sample the Quiche Lorraine (or Quiche La-Poodle for you B-52's fans) and this eggy fave did not disappoint. Light, done perfectly on top and oh so savory. You're dropping $5 for a single waffle (or you can go $8 for a full chicken and waffles stack), so if you can pair the waffle with a great cup of coffee or fancypants coffee drink, you're in at $10-ish for a rather unique breakfast experience, and that's kind of the point. You want Eggos and Folgers? Yeah, I've been there, but thanks to options like The Waffler parked next to a Roasterie, I've stepped up my game.
Pro tip: If you're wearing black, then beware the powdered sugar. The slightest breeze reminds you later of your choices. Since I did the waffle on my lap, I was bedazzled with sugar shrapnel on my black sweats. Kind of reminiscent of my high school geometry teacher, who was always chalk-dusted on the back of his blazer. Dude knew his angles, though.
