Who We Are
The Waffler consists of a mother-son team who after years of different careers (banking, construction, illustration, emergency medical and a cumulative 25+ years serving/cheffing and bartending) found their calling in the food truck game. Originally considering another concept, the idea of a truck serving chicken and waffles essentially fell from the sky. 2017 marked a new era for the
already existing Waffler in KC. The Liege waffle is the superior version of an already great thing. Using a dough as opposed to a batter, the cooked result is much more dense and filling than the traditional Belgian waffle. Next: the sugar pearls! Sugar pearls are a pea-sized chunk of superfine sugar made of a beet concentrate that by consistency has a higher melting point than standard baking sugar. When cooked they melt just enough to caramelize the exterior of the waffle, contributing to it's signature crunch. Finally: Our hand breaded chicken. Every chicken strip begins as a choice cut chicken breast that is then individually cut to size, taking shape and quality of cut to consideration. It is then pressed out to give it the thin characteristic it's known for. Three step process of spices > buttermilk > breading. Because we try to waste as little as possible (and 'cause you'll never have anything like this) we use our Classic Vanilla waffles as breading…(right?!) The strips are then flash frozen to set, fried up and handed out the window for you to enjoy. Why We Do It
It gets hot. It gets busy. Crazy busy. BUT, we love it, you love it and food trucks are awesome. Plain and simple.
