Obviously, I grew up culinary-challenged, because I had no idea there are two kinds of waffles. You have to visit Augustin's Waffles in The Holiday Shops at Bryant Park. Run by a husband wife team (left), Augustin's serves up these delicious things called "Liege" waffles. They have pearl sugar in the dough that melts and caramelizes on top, so they're crunchy on the outside and a dense dream of waffleness on the inside. Liege waffles are known as the original Belgian waffle and have much more taste than the old typical waffle. Who knew? Um, all of Europe and Asia but few of us Americans. Get with it people, go visit and taste the superior waffle, which can be served traditional ($4), plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar, or with nutella and other toppings ($5 for one topping, $6 for 3 toppings). Nutella is, according to the owners, by far the most popular topping.
Yum, now I'm starving. These Liege waffles have no preservatives nor additives so dig in.
