WAFELS & DINGES

Messy Wafel Gets Cleaned Up

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 15:02:00 +0000

Wafel Friends - we have to apologize!

Our recently launched website had a glitch in how it captured resumes from job applicants. As a consequence, some applicants' names and resumes showed up in Google's search results when you Googled the applicant's name.

The GOOD NEWS now: The glitch is 99% solved. Resumes are NO longer showing on Google. Zero. There may be a few people who still get a link showing on Google search results (that's the Google cache, which will be cleared in a few days), but definitely no resumes.

No need to say we profusely apologize for this. The baby's face says it all. We've also sent a few rocket-propelled waffle-grenades to our developer's HeadQuarters in California. Thanks for letting us know and your understanding.

Quarterly Statement to the King

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:19:00 +0000

Your Majesty,

We have received disturbing news about national strikes crippling the Belgian economy. We hope you and your family are safe and sound. In case matters do get to a head, we would be honored to offer you asylum here at our commissary in New York City where wafels still are served without interruptions.

Last time, we spoke about our new infrastructure and our Spekuloos ice cream. In the past couple of months, we again have come up with several new ideas and improvements to keep our company growing and our customers satisfied.

One major improvement is the production of our Hot Belgian Cocoa. We have acquired the rights to recreate De Choclotron (used in Belgian space missions) here in New York. This has greatly increased our efficiency in making hot chocolates and dramatically decreased the waiting time for the wafeloons and wafelonnes.

Last but definitely not least, our new truck, KASTAAR, will be up and running very soon! While we patiently await your royal permit; we are scouting new spots, a lot of them outside of Manhattan in Queens & Brooklyn. As always, we will keep you and our customers abreast of the latest developments as they happen.

Yours Sincerely,

W&D

DE THROWDOWN TOUCHDOWN

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:58:00 +0000

Wafeloons & Wafelonnes!

(American) Football has always caused much confusion to many Belgians. It's very different than the football they are used to. Think of it as the confusion many Americans feel when they look at our Wafels and think of the typical "Belgian Waffle". The department of Wafels has come up with something that will connect both worlds:

DE THROWDOWN TOUCHDOWN

Our Superbowl special: Available at all our opérations this SATURDAY & SUNDAY ONLY!

- 12 Liège Wafels
- 1 jar of Spekuloos
- 1 can of whipped cream

Be the life of the party for only $48! Goal/Touchdown!

Goesting in love..

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 16:47:00 +0000

Dear Greenwich & Murray customers,

The unthinkable has happened. Our beloved Goesting cart, which usually rebelliously roams the city with different spots each day, has fallen in love...big time. He claims it's the love of his life:

23rd St. & 5th Ave near Eataly.

They really hit it off. It must be a European thing, Belgium & Italy aren't too far apart. Check out the picture below... sparks are flying all over the place. While we look for a solution, we hope you can understand and let these lovebirds enjoy what they have.

Special of the Week!

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:01:00 +0000

DE CHOCLOTRON

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 13:11:00 +0000

Hi Wafeloons & Wafelonnes,

Breaking news in the Belgian Space Program this week. Marking the capstone flight of the WafelCraft Series, Belgium's last astronaut-manned spacecraft made its final journey back through the atmosphere on Monday. When asked what kept the brave spacemen motivated on the long journey to and from the International Space Station, the Belgians aboard the WafelCraft insisted that it was the mysterious machine specifically engineered for the crew and installed just days before takeoff. Custom made in Belgium's industrial city of Charleroi, DE CHOCLOTRON provided an endless amount of Belgium's finest hot cocoa to the cold and lonely spacemen aboard the flight. After much discussion, pleading, and paperwork, Wafels & Dinges was able to obtain the rights to the protocol and has now recreated Earth's finest hot cocoa machine to ever be used by man. And they're in every cart and truck. New York really does have everything. So taste a sip of history - you don't even have to wear a silly spacesuit. It's guaranteed to be out of this world.

Wafelette of the week!

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 18:44:00 +0000

Hi there Wafeleurs & Wafelettes!

"If Belgian men were as sweet as the wafels at Wafels & Dinges, I would surely marry one". This statement by Deepa Baalakrishnan led the head of the wafeleur/wafelette selection committee to promptly crown her as the new Wafelette of the week. It turned out to be a contentious decision. Behind the scenes discussions between all heads of departments within the Ministry of Culinary affairs culminated at a special meeting at the nearest "frietkot" (a place where Belgians buy and devour their fries) in Brussels (!) to settle their differences. After the head of selection survived a vote of no-confidence (for being too persuadable) he was allowed to carry on and reward Deepa with a gift certificate for 2 FREE Wafels of Massive Deliciousness!Here's her bio:

Name: Deepa Baalakrishnan

I work in Manhattan close to 52 and 6th and await my wafel and dinges experience every friday(I try!) !
Zodiac-Virgo(Sep 13)
Friends-Lots of them!!
Likes- Waffles? :-)
Dislikes - Unfriendly and rude people..
Favorite Waffle/Dinges experience: Hot Belgian Cocoa along-side a bacon waffle! And beer icecream to top!
My Waffle Experience: This past friday..On a rainy,gloomy day the only reason to walk out of the building was to have the most delicious heavenly experience waiting right outside in the form of a mini-waffle cart.The hot chocolate fudge/beer icecream topping made wading through the rain worth every minute!

Congratulations again to Deepa! To worried readers: after the internal scuffle things are back to normal at company headquarters.

Hi Wafeloons & Wafelonnes!

After a prolonged stay, Granny's Envy Wafel finally left. She was supposed to stay 2 weeks but late last week, she got a hernia and had to stay for another week. Yesterday, we finally put her back on a plane to Florida.

This week's special involves a special dinges our master culinary chef made in his own basement at home (where his real creative juices get going). He came up with the ingenious combination of brown sugar and walnuts and turning it into a tasty crumble. Check it out:

DE PEARABLE WAFEL

Your favorite Brussels or Liège wafel with:

Fresh Bartlett Pears (from our favorite: Prospect Hill Orchards)
Blueberries
Walnut-brown sugar crumble

According to our master chef dinges - this is his best creation to date. So you don't want to miss out on it! Available at all our carts and the truck!

Enjoy!

Wafelette of the week!

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 15:49:00 +0000

Hi there Wafeleurs & Wafelettes!

We know we have been quiet on our weekly wafeleur/wafelette announcement. Reason for this was a massive overhaul of the Wafeleur/Wafelette-selection department. Also, the process involves intensive international background checks on the selected person's waffle consumption, membership of certain wafel-criminal organizations (like the Waffle House's regulars club) and so forth, we have to make sure everything is checked and approved by Belgian authorities before we can announce it to the general public. This week's Wafelette got the all-clear! Congratulations to Jessie! Here is what she had to say about herself:

My name is Jessie Saltzman I recently moved to NY from Texas. In Texas I was focusing and mainly putting all my effort toward Musical Theatre. I still have a passion for it, and currently take private lesson; voice and acting. I don't have that big of a family, some here in New York and only a few back in Texas. All my friends are spread around the United States for college and I miss them dearly. But a few of them attend school in the city so I get to see them frequently. I currently work at 2 theatres and also a tiny retail job. I like the outdoors, cooking, and photography. Dislikes would be snakes, spiders...wow I sound like a little kid; and more. My favorite color would have to be a tie in between electric blue and neon orange. Ahh favorite wafel topping?!! One topping that you can find on most of my wafels would be strawberries so I guess thats pretty up there, but last week I tried spekuloos (I don't know if I spelled that correctly) spread... and it was AMAZING! I love it! Good wafel experience would have to be my first Wafel and Dinges experience, now anytime I'm in the park or happen to see the location of the truck and I'm near by, I have to get some and I got my friends hooked too... and funny thing is orignally he didn't like wafels to begin with!

There you have it! Congratulations again to Jessie! Do know that when you approach her in an aggressive manner, she has two secret wafel agents by her side armed with wafel forks and iron scrapers, protecting her dinges at all times.

See you all next week!

Hi there Wafeloons!

The past two weeks have been rough on our culinary department. We have seen massive rainfall causing some flooding in our company headquarters. Preliminary reports indicate no wafel casualties. However, a few of Liege wafels were taken to the wafel hospital after showing signs of "wafel al-dente". The pearl sugar of the Liege wafel allegedly interacted with water, causing it to harden, so rendering it unfit for sale. In total, 4 Liege wafels required emergency consumption by trained Wafels & Dinges staff (according to the Belgian "Leave No Wafel Behind"-act, prohibiting the disposal of any wafels). Despite the mishap, our sources say they were still super delicious.

Despite this wafel drama, our chefs did manage to concoct a weekly special that will make your ears whistle! They made another trip out to Prospect Hill Orchards in Milton, NY to handpick an all-American ingredient to go with an all-Belgian wafel. After carefully experimenting with a variety of dinges, we are proud to present to you yet another mouthwatering masterpiece. Even your family's apple-pie expert (every family has one) will savor this orchard fresh treat. Its taste will bring you (and your grandmama...or Aunt BettySue...or Uncle Ronnie?) one step closer to wafel Valhalla! Behold:

GRANNY'S ENVY WAFEL

Your favorite Liege or Brussels wafel:

Spekuloos Spread (if you have never had it before, this is a great wafel to try it on!)
Diced Apples
Wildflower Honey

In true Wafels & Dinges style, this wafel is a mere foundation for you to build on. Feel free to add your favorite dinges to make it your very own unique wafel treat!

Don't forget to tell grandma her apple pie's got some competition!

National Wafel Day 2011 - Official statement

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 22:06:00 +0000

Dear Wafeleurs & Wafelettes,

First of, we would like to thank all the wafel loving people out there who joined us on National Wafel day celebrating man's most delicious food on earth.

Congratulations Stacey Molski and Michael Parent for becoming Miss and Mr Wafel 2011! Your names are now forever enshrined in the wafel history books. Your picture is hung up in our Wafel art gallery next to the Belgian royal family.

The high volume of drawings and poems received completely inundated the ministry's department of Wafels. Two interns were required to assist Thomas, Belgium's special envoy for wafels abroad, to get the selection job done. After carefully reviewing all the dinges, we are now proud to present to you the winners of the drawing/poem contest! See below for the most wafel worthy submissions and other pictures of the event!

National Wafel Day 2011

Thanks again everybody!

Special of the Week!

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 14:33:00 +0000

Dear Wafeleurs & Wafelettes,

Yesterday, in proper dinges tradition, we celebrated National Wafel Day marking the unofficial end of summer. Our culinary department went out of its way to make sure that the summer of 2011 went out with a bang. Combining all the dinges we could muster to tickle your wafel senses, the following Special of the Week will throw you into fits of nostalgia for the ~~sweltering~~ sunny days of summertime even before the temperature drops below 80.

DE ISLAND HOPPER WAFEL

Your favorite Liege or Brussels Wafel:

Dulce de Leche
Pineapple*
Organic Coconut*
Raspberry Ripple Ice cream*

*The Ministerial Quality Control Agency checks that all our dinges are the best produce available. So our pineapples are cut per order (no cans) and our coconut is organic. Our Raspberry Ripple ice cream is handmade with a raspberry puree.

Wafel tip! Try the special on a Liege wafel. Its vanilla flavor blends perfectly with the tropical dinges on top for an even better taste!

Bon Appétit!

Wafelette of the Week

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 11:53:00 +0000

Hello, once again, all you crazy wafeleurs and wafelettes out there in crazy wafel world, and welcome to another Wafelette of the Week. At birth, all the wafeleurs and wafelettes of the week were implanted with a microchip that would one day activate when it came time for them to be chosen. Once activated, the microchip will play highly offensive sounds until the chosen wafeleur/wafelette eats a wafel. This week, it's Lisa! We asked Lisa for a bio, and here's what she had to say:

Hi fellow foodies! My name is Lisa Reid O'Rourke and my day job is being a Speech Pathologist in a hospital, but I also teach cooking classes in my hometown of Baton Rouge, LA (hence the wearing of the apron in my picture). My very first experience with Wafles and Dinges was on a Food Truck Walking Tour in December 2010 (thanks Brian Hoffman). I had a Liege wafle with Spekuloos spread melting all over it. I was so enthralled that I had to visit the Wafles and Dinges booth at the Union Square Holiday Market every day during my visit. I bought some jars of Spekuloos spread to take home, but the airport security guard tried to confiscate my jars (a liquid really???). However, when I noticed the drool dripping off his chin as he cradled my Spekuloos in his arms, I took back my jars and he "escorted" me out of security. I unhesitatingly paid $30 to check my bag of Spekuloos so it could be transported safely home. I'd like to share the honor of Wafelette of the Week with my daughter Sally O'Rourke (who you may recognize as being a winning contestant on Jeopardy!). Whenever I visit her in NYC, she helps me stalk--I mean chase-- down the nearest Wafles and Dinges truck. Sally even made me a wafles "cake" with Spekuloos "frosting" for my birthday in June. Because I live in Baton Rouge (where alas there are no wafles), I keep a supply of the individually wrapped liege wafles in my freezer. And when I've been a very good girl, I take one out to toast and spread with Spekuloos. Now, if only there was a way to ship Belgian Madness ice cream without melting....that would help tide me over until my next visit to the land of "Good Things Belgian".

There you have it folks. Congrats again to Lisa! She'll enjoy a couple of wafels on us, and the respect and jealousy of her peers. Who will it be next week? You?

Special of the Week!

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 15:33:00 +0000

Hi there Wafeleurs & Wafelettes!

A typical Belgian tradition is the one of the mass exodus of people going on vacation during the summer months, escaping the rainy summer and the constant uncertainty of actual sun.
Not only families, but also companies, stores, doctors, etc close shop for at least a couple weeks. So it is not uncommon to see your favorite book store closed for 2 weeks or your doctor on vacation for the month of July. The country basically shifts into (a couple of) lower gear(s).

This past week, the Ministry of Culinary Affairs had its yearly vacation time with most of its employees taking off to the South of France, Italy, Spain or Turkey to get some much needed sun.

They are back in business however, giving us the official stamp of approval for this week's brand new special of the week!

THE FEELIN' PEACHY WAFEL!

Your favorite Brussels or Liege wafel with:

peaches (from a 7th generation family farm called Prospect Hill Orchards in Milton, NY)
whipped cream
cinnamon sugar

Our culinary chefs highly recommend some walnuts or ice cream (Vanilla or Spekuloos flavors this week!) to tantalize your taste buds even more. But as always, you're in charge of your dinges!

Enjoy!

Wafelette of the Week

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 14:30:00 +0000

Hello out there all you crazy Wafel People, and welcome to another installment of the Wafelette of the Week! There is an old man sitting on top of a mountain in Belgium. He is perpetually silent, except for once a week when he utters the name of the Wafelette of the Week, and then orders a Stella. This week, it's Odalys! We asked her for a bio, and here's what she had to say:

My name is Odalys J. I'm 20 years old. My first waffle expirience was recently and it was amazing!! No other words could describe it. I instnatly became hooked to the speculoos spread. YUM!! My best friend is going to be super excited to hear I won this. Now I can go back to school a happy camper :)

There you have it folks! Congrats again to Odalys. If you see her walking down the street, be sure to throw rose petals in her path, perhaps she'll share her winnings with you...but probably not.

Special of the Week!

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 19:19:00 +0000

Hi there Wafeleurs & Wafelettes!

Today, we officially introduced our new Belgian Madness ice cream to you. However, our culinary department is ready to take the ice cream to the next level: on top of a wafel. After numerous flavor tests in the wee hours of the night, they found a dinges that blends miraculously well with the refreshing honey-lemon flavor of the ice cream. After receiving the seal of approval from the Ministry of Culinary Affairs, we are proud to present to you:

THE BELGIAN MADNESS WAFEL

Your favorite Brussels or Liege wafel with:

(Our spectacular) Belgian Madness ice cream
Blackberries

Not enough dinges? Don't fret! Who are we to deprive you from such joy? As always, we give you the liberty to customize your wafel by adding your favorite dinges!

Enjoy!

Belgium Day!

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 20:22:00 +0000

Wafeleurs and Wafelettes!

Tomorrow, July 21st, we celebrate the Belgian National Holiday. Since we don't have a government but only political chaos, we've decided to celebrate and officially introduce our Belgian Madness ice cream instead! With its distinct honey-lemon flavor and its (now leaked) secret ingredient of Hoegaarden white beer (don't worry we're not going to card you for it), Belgian Madness really is sacrilegiously delicious. To make it a giant Belgian feast, here are a number of events that will unfold tomorrow:

Come to one of our carts or truck between 12pm and 1pm to receive your FREE cone of Belgian Madness ice cream! Or get it as a topping on your wafel for free!*

At 10pm we are holding a contest to crown the "Back-up King of Belgium" at our Astor Place truck location. How to win?

Come dressed up in your best uniform, worthy of a King
Next, you will give a 1-2min speech about "The Role of Dinges in the Expansion of the Belgian Empire!

If you convince our Belgian jury of your royal potential, you will win a free catering event for 50 people anywhere in NYC! The second prize is a gift certificate for 5 WMDs. And under the Belgian motto of "participating is more important than winning" all the contestants will receive a free jar of Spekuloos! We'll have at most 5 participants, randomly selected by an innocent wafelette from who-ever shows up.

Come celebrate Belgium (or just the ice cream) with us tomorrow!

Vive La Belgique/Leve Belgie!

Quarterly Statement to the King

noreply@blogger.com (Waffle-Guy) — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 16:21:00 +0000

Most Honorable King,

Before I share with you the momentous progress we have made in the past months, I would like to sincerely apologize for the lack of communication to you and the ministry. For the past 6 months, Wafels & Dinges has been extraordinarily busy establishing internal communication with wafel lovers on American soil. We regret that communication to the motherland has been curbed. The visit from the prince and princess served to rattle our dinges into more sane reasoning. We’re ready to again report on our wafel progress!

We are very pleased to inform you that the construction of our brand new commissary has been completed. We assure you, subsidies received by the ministry have been put to good use. Sadly, we have received complaints from Belgian pigeon race enthusiasts who were less than amused by the pigeon race tax you put in place to finance our project. We tried appeasing them by inviting them over for a tour of the new facilities. Unfortunately, the majority of them were too afraid to fly. We couldn’t even lure them with bread crumbs…

Our second noteworthy item of improvement is our Spekuloos ice cream. As you know from our top secret cables to the ministry, we were having difficulties perfecting the unique and delicate taste. Because of the Speculoos spread's oily nature, the derived ice cream was wildly delicious, but still fell below our high standards. Never fear! We have found the solution. By using the actual Spekuloos cookies instead of the spread, we’ve raised ice cream delight to a new level. Not only do the cookie chunks enhance the flavor, they also add a whole new textural dimension. We are very proud of this achievement and reviews have been encouragingly positive.

Thank you, dear King, for your attention to our updates. We hope you are pleased with our progress. We look forward to keep impressing you and your people in the future.

Wafels know no borders.

Sincerely,

Bastille Day

As the entire world knows, the French are excellent chefs, have the best wines and make some of the greatest cheese in the world. This Sunday they will display all these (and more) culinary masterpieces again in the streets of Manhattan on their yearly Bastille Day fair. Back in 2008, we received a desperate request to provide the event with something the French tried to but never seemed to have mastered: how to make a good waffle. We courteously accepted their invitation and have returned every year since then to provide our southern friends with our delicious delicacy from the north.

So come find us on Sunday. You'll recognize us by our Belgian flag amidst a sea of French Tri-Colours. A sign of great friendship and mutual appreciation of good food!

À tout à l'heure!
