in college i did a four month internship in brussels, where i fell in love with belgian waffles/gaufres. they are unlike anything you've ever had, unless you've had them. when i left belgium, i was pretty convinced i'd never eat one unless i return to belgium someday. i gave up, scoffing at anything calling itself "belgian waffles." six months after i got home, i was in salt lake city and there was a man selling "bruges waffles" out of a food cart and i had a pretty good feeling about it. i could smell it. i could hear the accent. sure enough, he was a legit belgian, and his waffles were too. i was so happy and incredulous. he opened an actual little restaurant a year or so later on 300 south in salt lake, and i hope everyone in the area is partaking regularly. ryan and i loved getting waffles there and would anytime we were in salt lake. such a treat that i imagine most areas do not have.
like. central pennsylvania.
i keep coming across recipes online claiming to be the real thing and some actually sound like it. and i tried my first one for dinner tonight. it was better than i expected it would be, but it's not quite right. but it was close enough that i will continue searching. i think i'll try a recipe every month or so until i find something close. real close. the pearl sugar is definitely a must and i am going to try to track that down for next time.
so, to answer your question, ryan had buttery sugary waffles for dinner. stay tuned for a healthy detox meal tomorrow. or pizza.
