| - I don't like waffles. Never have. I think they're boring. They're usually dry and no fun. Pancakes are where it's at for me. You can dress them up or play it down, but either way, they're usually delicious. But gosh darnit, Waffles INcaffeinated has got it going on!
I wanted to try them, considering I'd heard all this great buzz. In comes the bright, shiny new store right in the South Side. Lucky for us, we now have a city version of their eatery. Lucky for me, because now I'm addicted.
I didn't realize there could be so many waffle combinations. I honestly thought it would just be waffles with some fancy fruit on top or baked inside. But it's so not. It's pages of waffle inspired dishes! Savory waffles and sweet waffles, waffle sandwiches and so much more!I opted for the Eggs Benedict. Number 1, it's my fave breakfast dish and, number 2, I REALLY wanted the sweet waffles, but opted for a savory one (next time, my friends!).
It was incredible! It had a lump of crab meat that was mixed with this tart, perhaps lemon (?) mix, on top of one of the best hollandaise sauces I've ever had (sweet). And the crowning achievement? The waffle itself! It was everything I THOUGHT a waffle should have been, but I'd never experienced before. The batter mix that created this square piece of magic was superb. It was sweet and fluffy, with no burnt spots to be seen. It was pure perfection.
I'm gonna have to fight the voices in my head each time I drive down Carson (to the gym right past the shop, no less!!!!) that tell me to stop in. But for you, don't wait, but run there!
