Tinfoil Chef

Something that you don’t see in many kitchens these days is the classic waffle iron… I’m not talking about a little bitty modern plastic thing that makes waffles for a while and then falls apart because of how cheap it’s made. I am referring to those great big heavy monsters that felt like it weighed as much as ‘57 Chevy grilles.

Those things would, once heated up, make great waffles better than any toaster pastry thingy that sometimes tastes as good as the box it comes in. For one thing, you knew that if the waffle iron was heated up, there was going to be a LOT of waffles because nobody fired up one of those things just to make one or two.

No, that involved making up a gallon or more of batter and waffles being made until it was gone. Then everybody got a stack of them just like a stack of pancakes. Add in some butter and / or maple syrup and THAT was a breakfast of champions.
