I ask this because my wife Mrs. DanGarion\u00a0loathes\u00a0them and I&#8217;m not particularly a big fan of them either. Just about every restaurant in Southern California&#8217;s rendition of waffles is of the Belgium variety. I realize that there are some places that actually make the tried and true real waffle, such as\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bruxie.com\/\">Bruxie<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roscoeschickenandwaffles.com\/\">Roscoe&#8217;s House of Chicken and Waffles<\/a>, but that is where my knowledge of great waffles ends. Even my favorite weekend breakfast spots <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fillingstationcafe.com\/\">The Filling Station<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arthursfamilyrestaurant.com\/\">Arthur&#8217;s Family Restaurant<\/a> (both in Orange) basically fail the waffle test with Belgiums, although I&#8217;m willing to forgive Arthur&#8217;s because they do pair them with chicken.<\/p>\n<p>So what say you readers, what type of waffles do you like?
