It's National Waffle Day and we are here to help you celebrate.
First up, we have a video featuring the folks from Rise& Shine who graciously showed us how to make the perfect waffle a couple of days ago.
If you don't have everything you need to make a waffle yourself or you just feel like getting out of the house, we have a couple of suggestions for you.
HEXX Kitchen + Bar at Paris Las Vegas is celebrating the food holiday with their Cinnaroll waffle topped with cream cheese frosting, cinnamon and sugar. The delicious waffle will be offered from 7 to 11 a.m. for $13.95.
Guests who are looking for more sweets after their meal can enjoy original flavors of artisanal High Road Ice Cream, created by James Beard award winner, Keith Schroeder in HEXX Chocolate + Confexxions’ housemade waffle cones. The single scoop waffle cone is priced at $5.45, double scoop $7.45 and triple scoop $8.45.
Or head on over to Mandarin Oriental and try the Green Tea Waffles at MOzen Bistro. We have to admit that we are definitely curious about these waffles.
The Green Tea Waffles are made with matcha and served with a lychee compote and passion fruit crème ($17.) It is available on the brunch menu served on Saturdays and Sundays. Thankfully, they actually gave us the recipe.
