Waffle Love

Because this blog was getting to be just a bit too classy... Here's a food truck.


My wife and I were driving home this afternoon were blessed by a local phenomenon. After a quick double-take, I conducted two possibly illegal and dangerous U-turns and  pulled in to the parking lot of a random medical center where, at least for this fleeting few hours, a Waffle Love truck had decided to take up shop. 

Waffle Love, or @Waffluv if you prefer, owns three food trucks. One travels around Utah county, one in Salt Lake county, and one oddly enough in Arizona. They announce their locations for the day over their Facebook page every morning. 

The Atmosphere 1/5

Well, its a food truck... and it was REALLY cold. 

The Service 4/5

I have to give these guys some credit here. I had a great time. We talked about their business model and the menu.They were extremely friendly despite the long-ish line of people waiting for waffles.
I asked them what I should order and they immediately pointed to the Red Wonder, the most expensive item on the menu. 





The Food 3/5

So, This isn't a lot of food for $8 bucks. It was, however, a really fun experience and I would probably enjoy another waffle or two from them among friends. 
The kind of waffle they make is called a Liege Waffle, which is made from a batter that seems to be high in butter content. The result is a scone-like fried waffle that is both crispy and flaky. The Red Wonder tops this with a gigantic glob of thick whipped cream covered in red berries. Underneath the pile of lost New Year's wishes is a layer of Biscoff, a spread made from English coffee biscuits.

Conclusion

If you see a Waffle Love truck around town, you should treat it like the ice cream man and let your 10 year-old self run wild.
