Wafels & Dinges (New York, NY)

Roaming. Follow @waffletruck on twitter.

One of my favorite trucks in all of New York City is Wafels & Dinges, a little bit of Belgium that trolls through the streets of the Big Apple dishing out authentic waffles from two cities in Belgium. In this episode, Thomas DeGeest teaches me a bit about this history of the waffle, as well as it’s city of origin.

Depends on the waffle. If it is a Liege than nothing goes on top...plain is the best. :) A regular waffle gets good maple syrup. Yum :)

Raven257

I'll have mine with sliced bananas, brown sugar and strawberry yogurt, yummy.

On cold winter days I like a thin spread of creamy peanut butter on my waffles and a drizzle of pure maple syrup. That combination is awesome and it will stick with you for a while.

On warmer spring or summer days I like a fresh fruit and a bit of whipped cream.

pamelamckenna

My favorite toppings are alltogether a schmear of peanut butter bacon and bannana. Thaen you drizzle on some real maple syrup. YUMMM!!!

Kevin May

I don't have waffles that much, but I love eating them. I like to put some scopes of icecream on top, chocolate syrup and whip cream. Mmmm.

Daniel Delaney

Mmmmm! Yum.

Susanna Amato

Dan, although it may not win me a kit and it may be extremely pedestrian, there's nothing better or more unique tasting to me than a slice of neopolitan ice cream (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry) between two square waffles.

Daniel Delaney

Ha! An honest answer and a simply delicious combination.

etiennesegonzac

Thank god I'm going to Brussel next week :)

Daniel Delaney

Really!? Can you record a video or take some pictures?

leo_busta

Favorite topping i use is caramelized bananas which i make, meyer lemon, maple syrup from Wilkens farms in Yorktown Heights, greek yogurt sometimes with or without farmers honey, and topped with chocolate chips and peanut butter brittle.

Daniel Delaney

Damn! That's amazing. Love the yogurt and lemon thang! - Dan

leo_busta

kizzle

Daniel Delaney

Ah yes! Those deliciously juicy red wonders!

Mari

Maple syrup, sliced bananas, crushed almonds or walnuts and whipped cream.

Daniel Delaney

Nice! Delicious and classic!

rachelhangad

more waffles with syrup and strawberries :P'''

Paul Delagrange

Awesome Episode Daniel! Of course I watch it after eating my meager breakfast of lowfat milk and a banana. Speaking of which.... I love Banana's and Sugar, or Strawberries and sugar on my Waffle's!

Daniel Delaney

Awesome Paul! You'll probably be able to eat that breakfast for a long
time in comparison to the way I've been feasting!

tedbyars

Oh Strawberries, Nutela and Whipped Cream for sure

Daniel Delaney

classic!

I have to say my favorite is cream cheese and jelly. Something from my youth.

Daniel Delaney

oh wow - never would have thought of that, though I do enjoy the combination! -dan

Aaron Keogh

Dude, where was the cinnamon waffle!?

lukeirvin

Favorite topping is mixed nuts and chocolate chips with maple syrup. So so good ^_^

mikegnome

I like using fruit preserves. Huckleberry or apricot are favorites. But generally anything that involves sugar is eaten.

N. Pomeroy

If the waffle batter is really tasty, a light dusting of powdered sugar. If the batter is average, a single scoop of homemade sweet-cream or vanilla ice cream.

G_Lo

We have a couple, both start with globs of Danish butter melting into every nook and cranny. His - All-natural Vermont maple syrup topped with shredded breakfast sausage...Hers - fresh ripe banana puree lightly sprinkled with freshly grated nutmeg...Chew slowly and savour!

LollyD

Fresh Strawberries, Chocolate Ice Cream, and a few Almonds topped with Whipped Cream. MMMMMMMMMM

Brianna Fairhurst

I love Nutella and either raspberries or strawberries (or both!) with some whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon. Or simply butter with my grandmother's canned peaches (you could eat a can in less than 5 minutes they're that good) and powdered sugar.

Tyler Reed

Would it be lame to say maple syrup?? It's just oh-so-delicious. And not that nasty Aunt Jemima stuff!!

Nora Abousteit

My mother's hot cherries plus a bit of whip cream.

lippy

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... waffles...

Hey, D! Lippy here. My fave waffle topping comes from my hometown of Lancaster Penna. And that'd have to be CHICKEN. As in, gooey chicken pot-pie ladled over a crispy waffle.

Can you send me one of these?

chermelle

mix of strawberry and peach jam, boysenberry syrup and a little whip cream on the top

OSCAR FALCON LARA

Oh my Waffles, these look yummy.
My favorite topping is several actually, and if the waffles are well made I just eat them straight, but toppings: nutella naturally, jams nad marmallades, fruit, marmite or vegemite, ice cream, and one time we put tampico garnish on top (the one they put on sushi and it was great to be honest, different but good).

chitou

Golden syrup, peanut butter, nutella, whiped cream, strawberries (marinaded in some alcohol + black pepper), vanilla ice cream, carmelized nuts and smarties sprinkled all over it

mindyd

I love a warm waffle, topped with vanilla ice cream, topped with hot fudge sauce and whipped cream......delicious!!!

Lori Strong

My 'Favorite" topping turns the ordinary waffle into an experience! Growing up as a child, my favorite was to have creamed chicken on waffles, you have to try it & give it a chance, it's sooo good!

chinster

Take a waffle, put ice cream on it, place another waffle on top of ice cream.

Ice cream waffle sandwich.

Lauren

I love all things sweet, so I don't venture into savory waffle territory... I like my waffles with a good layer of sweet peanut butter (like Skippy), a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a generous amount of syrup. It's even better when the waffle is crispy but starts to soften from the peanut butter and syrup as I eat it : )

I LOVE waffles, and miss the Waffle Houses we used to have in MI when I was a kid. First you need REAL maple syrup, none of the fake corn-syrup-with-maple-flavor crap. Yes it costs more, but it's sooooo worth it. My favorite batter has chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, and dried cherries in it. Add some real maple syrup and a little whipped cream and it's amazing!

sexycommando

I actually like a savory waffle. chunk albacore, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, rosemary herbed butter and lots of cheese. LOTS AND LOTS OF CHEESE..

Janet Fox Driscoll

Agree with james. Real Wisconsin butter & maple syrup.

joesunga

My favorite waffle topper has been Grove Farm's Pure Maple with two delicious slices of maple smoked bacon at the local Farmer's Market here in Seattle. Fried chicken is second, but it doesn't compare to the saltiness of the bacon.

jamesbressi

I just need a little vendr.tv while eating my waffles and I'm set! (wow, total brown-noser, I am).

No, really, I'm a boring waffle eater. Lots of butter and real maple syrup, YUM! I can do with some whip cream as well.

Great episode as always Dan and crew.
