I've had a waffle obsession for years now. I even asked for a waffle maker for Christmas a few years back. Since then I've waffle-d everything from grilled cheese sandwiches to making waffle ice cream sandwiches. In the great pancakes vs. waffles debate, waffles totally win! Pancakes are good but waffles have more texture, the square patterns hold toppings well and make eating it so much fun.
But I've also been inspired by a different type of waffle, or stroopwafel to be exact. Rip van Wafels. The steam from your coffee or tea warms the filling and makes it taste delicious. This wafel obsession has also made me more curious about the coffee ritual and I'm looking forward to learning more about it.
Here is a sketch I did of involving stroopwafels. I was sitting at Coffee Bar last weekend and noticed the string of lights that were hanging from the ceiling. It looked really cool and inspired me to create a sketch where instead of lights, it was stroopwafels, that were hanging down. These stroopwafels (some half-eaten) are being warmed by the steam from cups of some of the most popular coffee companies in San Francisco.
