A must eat: Waffles & Dinges

Hi, world!

Something really wonderful about NYC is the abundance of food trucks. They offer quick, delicious meals at an affordable price. Best of all, they prepare the food right in front of you. The appeal of food trucks has made them attractive for young, talented cooks who are looking for a more flexible, affordable method of delivering food.

The truck on stops at 46th on Thursdays.

You can find a truck for any type of cuisine. My absolute favorite if Waffles & Dinges, a waffle and toppings truck. The concept is simple, but the truck delivers one of the most delicious waffles I've ever eaten.  The truck offers two basic types of waffles; the Brussels and the softer Liege. There's  also a mini-waffle, but who wants less when you can have more?

The toppings, or dinges (pronounced ding-uhs), range from fruit (strawberry, banana), to dulce de leche and real maple syrup. You can also order spreadable toppings like butter, nutella, and spekuloos. I had never heard of this before W&D, but it's just as life changing as nutella was ten years ago. It's essentially a spreadable form of those yummy danish cookies. Your waffle includes one topping, but you have the option to pay for more toppings.

The nice travel box that is supplied for to-go orders.

Today, I ordered the Brussels waffle with strawberries and spekuloos. Powdered sugar was also sprinkled on at no additional charge. The waffles have a great crispy edge and soft inside. They're served warm and freshly prepared right in the truck. All of the fruit is extremely fresh as well. Each bite I took had great texture. It was crispy, creamy, and soft. I've had different toppings like chocolate fudge and bananas. I don't think there's a bad combination of toppings that you could order here; the items are picked to be mixed and matched in any way.

The gentlemen who worked the truck were extremely kind. Every time I visit, whoever is working has an awesome attitude and friendly sense of humor. It really makes a difference, especially in NYC where friendliness is lacking.

A cute addition to the box. According to this, I should
'think twice before sharing!' Haha.

You can also order a savory waffle at the truck. The menu lists pulled pork, bacon with syrup, and chili. I know I'll be back soon to try one of these. Definitely check these guys out if you're in the city. Visit their website here and visit their Twitter here to follow the truck as it stops at different locations around the city. They also have a smaller cart that I've seen stationed at 59th and 5th as well as booths set up at the Christmas market at Union Square.

A definite recommend.
