Do you crave authentic Belgian waffles topped with a medley of delicious “dinges”? Look no further than Wafels & Dinges, a canary-yellow food truck that has captured the hearts (and stomachs) of New Yorkers and tourists alike. Launched as a culinary mission by King Albert II of Belgium himself, this food truck has evolved into an NYC icon, showered with accolades and awards.
A Royal Inception
In 2007, distressed by the subpar quality of Belgian waffles in America, King Albert II took matters into his own hands. Delegating the task to the Belgian Ministry of Culinary Affairs, the first Wafels & Dinges truck was born with the aim to elevate the waffle experience in the United States.
A Culinary Experience Like No Other
Wafels & Dinges quickly gained traction, winning the NYC Vendy Award for Best Mobile Vendor in 2009. Further sealing its credibility, it clinched victory on ‘Throwdown with Bobby Flay’ in 2010. Renowned for its ethereal waffles and an array of sumptuous toppings, or “dinges,” it offers choices ranging from speculoos cookie crumble to Nutella, Belgian chocolate fudge, and whipped cream.
Critical Acclaim
The accolades don’t stop there. The truck has been named Best Dessert Truck in America by the Daily Meal in 2013 and even secured a spot in the Top 5 Best Quick Serve Restaurants in New York by Time Out in 2016. Its popularity transcends the food truck scene, making it a sought-after choice for weddings, office parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, and more.
Why It’s a Must-Visit
Wafels & Dinges is more than just a food truck; it’s a culinary institution that brings a piece of Belgium to the streets of NYC. With its royal origins and a delicious menu that continues to evolve, it’s no wonder why this truck has become a part of the city’s gastronomic landscape. Don’t miss out on this royal treat; after all, everyone loves Wafels & Dinges!
