I think it's safe to say that waffles suck. They look like what pancakes would look like if they were made by robots. Not to mention the political stigma attached to waffling. But I'm glad I went to Sweet Iron Downtown, because the classic waffle is actually DAMN TASTY. It's yielding and cakelike and seems more like a cinnamon roll that's been stepped on by a football player than the crappy freezer-burnt discs of my childhood. Don't bother with the banana brulee waffle--it's a diabetic death wish of sliced sautéed bananas, caramel sauce, and a pile of whipped cream--but the saltiness of the bacon on the bacon waffle complemented the sugary pastry well. Sweet Iron cured my waffle hate.
