Wafels & Dinges

Since I love all things cart food, especially cart food that specializes in one specific item. I was really excited about the Waffles & Dinges truck. I support my food cart vendors. They are the heroes of the hungry and broke. So I went on a quest to seek out this elusive truck. Okay so he was in front of Trader Joe's but I still had to call the hotline to find him! I felt like a stalker walking blocks and blocks hunting him down. Finally I spotted him and I was excited and exhausted from the long walk. There wasn't a line so I stepped up and ordered one of each item, a Brussels waffle and a liege waffle. The first thing I noticed was how frazzled and confused the man was. He seemed like he couldn't handle my order when there wasn't anyone else on the line. He handed me my liege waffle...ack! it was cinnamon. I'm not a fan of cinnamon in my waffles. He should have been smart enough to ask me what flavor I wanted. He was just handing out whatever he wanted. A lady behind me asked for a cinnamon waffle and he said he had a plain one on the heater. Well then put a cinnamon one on my man! It's that simple. I had to repeat my Brussels waffle order because he didn't seem like he was on it. When he finally gave it to me I gave him $10 bill and waited for my change. He put the money in his pocket and forgot my change. I waited a minute before asking him for it. I would say the experience was a little dissapointing. I expected a man who quits his deskjob to follow his passion for waffles to be enthusiastic and happy but he seemed kind of rude and unable to handle the duty of being a waffle truck ambassador. I also noticed that many people stopped to look at the truck. People were curious . But it is the job of the man inside to lure them in because people can be timid about things they don't know. Waffle man failed to do this. His frazzled nature and brash comments scared people away!

Okay so aside from the waffle man how were the waffles? The liege waffle was soso. It's imported and not made on premises so you could really just get it from the store. It's chewy and has little crunchy sugar pearls inside. The Brussels waffle was good. It was very thin and very crunchy but it does not warrant the $4. It's almost like eating a chip it's so thin. I would pay $1 at most for it.

In conclusion, maybe I was too excited and had my expectations set too high. I would give it another shot. Maybe waffle man was having a bad day.
