Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I recently saw a post about bacon waffles on Jeremy
Zawodny's blog. I'd never heard of such a thing, but apparently these Belgian waffles fortified with bacon are a
standard menu item at a California-based chain of restaurants called Stacks'. Curious, I started looking around and found that even
Epicurious has a recipe for a similar version
(right), made with cornmeal. Baking.about.com also
has a version. I feel like I've eaten a fair amount of diner food, but I've never come across these before. Chicken and
waffles, sure. Is the bacon waffle a regional thing? Yet another reason I need a waffle iron. [Image: Epicurious.com]

I've done regular, chocolate, savory cheese, blueberry, and cornbread varieties. There's also other versions like the belgian and liege. Liege are sweet desert waffles that I got addicted to on a recent trip to Europe. Waffles freeze and reheat incredibly well, so I like making them when I know there's going to be leftover.

Thanks for jogging my taste buds' memory bank . . .

When the waffles were done, so was the bacon. No offense, but HA to you e-coli paranoid food patrols out there...38 yrs old and still kicking! PS by the way, maple syrup makes it taste just that much better!

At a cultural fair, a woman in traditional dress was making very thin (almost wafer-like) waffles in a long-handled iron over an open fire in the street. They had a generous amount of crumbled bacon mixed in. The small amount of grease from the bacon permeated them and kept the waffles from sticking to the iron. I got a similar waffle iron to make them while camping. Love those things!

You have to make sure that you remix the batter before pouring the waffles, though, or the bacon falls to the bottom of the batter and you don't get much bacon in the beginning waffles.
