The Name
The name of WaffleNerds came up during many brainstorming sessions Chris and Sara had at a local coffee house. Sara thinks she pitched it, but Chris still feels like it was his idea. Anyway, we're both nerds. And, we're both nerds about these waffles.
The Waffles
We get a lot of questions about the style of waffles we serve. While they are Belgian Waffles, the particular style is called Liege, as they're traditionally attributed to the Liege region of Belgium. These waffles might be less popular than their Brussels counterpart (think batter), but they're unique taste and texture are what differentiates them. Liege waffles are made with a yeast dough, which creates a denser consistency than the fluffier version you find at most breakfast shops. Liege waffles also use sugar pearls mixed in with the dough. The combination of the fresh dough, sugar pearls, and proper griddle conditions create a caramelization effect that is truly delicious.
