Ah, the waffle. For me most of my waffle moments have happened at the Waffle House. First with my husband on Sunday mornings, now with my 17-year-old son on Sunday mornings, just in a different town. This is the wonderful thing about The Waffle House—it’s ubiquity. Sure there was the Egg-o Frozen Waffle phase when the kids were little, but that has passed. Belgian waffles had my heart for a bit, with the arrival of a waffle food truck at the Nashville Farmers’ Market about 5 years ago—they were a thing of beauty. But as quickly as the truck appeared it disappeared. That was all before the chicken and waffle craze, which is honestly my least favorite waffle iteration. I’m a sweets girl and love waffles for breakfast with pecans, butter and real maple syrup. Nonetheless I feel that my best waffle phase may be yet to come. I have been eyeing my mom’s 1950’s waffle iron that is sitting in a closet. Think it’s time for that puppy to come out.
In the meantime, here are a few waffle stats, four great waffle picks from around town and a waffle recipe from BLVD Nasvhille.
