    Hmmm chicken and waffles reimagined? Or OR… Fish and waffles opposed to fish and chips! Ok now we’re talkin!

      I have put my waffle iron through more shit than it should reasonably be able to handle. I used to have parties with friends where we would get fucking plastered and try waffling everything.

      The waffle all the things craze started shortly after, a cosmic coincidence if ever there was one.

      Anyway here’s some reports.

      First, we used a shallow style waffle maker. Mine was a cheaper Cuisinart but I think any would do.

      Bad corn bread mix is elevated in the waffle maker but really fucking good corn bread is better prepared the traditional way. I used famous Dave’s as a nice middle ground cornbread batter and it made a fantastic base for chili.

      As did cheap tube cinnamon rolls. Cinnamon rolls and chili are a staple where I’m from and trust me when I tell you that waffling them and serving chili on top absolutely elevates the dish.

      Tater tots, covered in cheese, and cooked from frozen on the waffle iron are absolutely the best version of tater tots. This is the one thing we did every single time. You gotta abuse the poor iron closed but it’s worth it.

      Bread is just toast in the waffle maker, a bad version of toast. Anything you see that says put something in bread and put it in the waffle maker has been disappointing.

      Fried mac and cheese bites, similarly, are not improved by the waffle process.

      Pierogi however, are absolutely wonderful but not necessarily improved enough to be worth the effort. Unless you’re alone and somehow only want like 4.

      Lasagna was the last item my poor waffle iron waffled. The HR Geiger abomination that came out of that poor machine was absolutely fantastic. Alas my poor iron never came clean again. It was a fitting send off.

        You and your friends needed a YT channel called “Does it Waffle”.

          We joked about doing that, but man, I just wanted to get fucked up and eat, ya know? Can’t turn everything in to content.

          Nebraska. They do it in Iowa too. I don’t know who started it but there’s a local chain of restaurants in my home town that claims they did it first.

        Ok you lost me at cinnamon rolls and chili. But cornbread waffles with chili on top sounds like some next level way to eat chili!

          I know, just trust me.

          There’s no frosting on the cinnamon rolls. It’s good. I promise you it’s good. It isn’t gonna change your life but I swear it’s good. it’s better than the nonsense they do in Ohio with fuckin spaghetti.

      It almost makes up for the fact that I can’t go to Red Lobster and say, “just keep the biscuits coming, I won’t be ordering today.”
