it's efficient!

After the culinary phenomenon that is Beachside Cafe's chicken and waffles, I decided it was high time I returned for the much-praised Bacon Waffle. What is this, a waffle with some special bacon on top? Maybe the bacon is chopped up and swirled into the batter? Maybe it's just a bacon-flavored waffle (if Spain can make jamón-flavored potato chips, then why not bacon-flavored waffles?)

This is the ingenious little slice of heaven:

Look closely!
There are a few rashers of bacon lodged within the waffle!
I have had chocolate-bacon pancakes before with maple syrup but this dish is a little better. For one, I made the pancakes using a store mix while these were crafted by the masters at Beachside Cafe. The texture of the waffle is far superior - crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside - to the consistency of a pancake, which always comes out heavy when I make it... maybe that's unfair since I'm no expert. But there is definitely a lot more bacon in this bacon waffle, and it's very good smoky bacon. With elements this pure and good - smoky bacon, perfect waffle, creamy butter, and maple syrup - there's no need to add chocolate. Sorry pancakes!

Feast your eyes upon the bacon in my waffle!
this waffle was just born this way!
Do you see that bacon lodges inside the crispy and tender waffle? Do you understand the implications of this delicious innovation? Okay, maybe I'm going too far - this waffle is not going to save the world - but it is VERY good. Beachside Cafe can put another feather in its hat of extraordinary breakfast, at friendly prices to boot.
