The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Breakfast still reigns as the ‘most important meal of the day.’ Waffles are the most important breakfast, and s’mores is the most important anything.
So the S’mores Waffle, by the Vulgar Chef, is perhaps the most significant food item in recorded history. Except for maybe sliced bread… that was kinda cool.
See the technique and some quality cussing here.

The mad scientist responsible for the Cronut and Chocolate Chip Cookie Shots, Dominique Ansel, is back with a new dessert. Helping to form single-file madness as we speak, the Waffogato is a waffle-shaped slab of Tahitian vanilla ice cream with bits of Belgian waffle folded in.
It’s then covered with espresso that’s laced with dark Vermont maple syrup. The heat of the espresso not only helps to slowly melt the ice cream waffle, but it apparently emits little tapioca balls and creates an espresso soup of sorts. See you in line.

Taco Bell has finally thrown its sombrero into the fast food breakfast ring. And, with a fast food establishment that specializes in tex-mex-like fare, a Waffle Taco was inevitable.
Although, simply folding a waffle to house other questionable breakfast items, does not a taco make — anyone who’s ever been in a rush in the morning could tell you that — Taco Bell is also offering something called an A.M. Crunchwrap and the ubiquitous Breakfast Burrito.
A Super-Duper Morning Chalupa cannot be far behind. Actually, that sounds pretty awesome.

Artist Andrew Lewicki wants to class up breakfast, and has created the Louis Vuitton Waffle Maker. Featuring the unmistakable Vuitton pattern, the waffle maker is teflon coated to help create the finest waffle couture.
Also be sure to check out Lewicki’s Oreo Manhole Cover that we’ve featured before.

The furniture pan, officially titled Sapore Dei Mobili (Furniture Tasting), is the work of artists Ryosuke Fukusada and Rui Pereira. Drawing from their Japanese and Portuguese heritage, the pan is actually influenced by Japanese small cakes, and a Portuguese pastry called “ovo moles.”
However, as an American, I see furniture waffles. I’ll take two chairs and a lamp, and pass the syrup.
