Yes, I am aware that the picture above sucks...but let me piece it together for you. As with most inventions this one was invented due to necessity. Yesterday, my brother threw a big party for my niece. He even had a big inflatable bouncy house for the kids (and adults) to jump around in. To feed all the little rascals he had plenty of pasta salad, watermelon, and grilled hot dogs and sausages. He even had the BBQB manning the grill. The one thing we didn't have enough of was hot dog buns. Supplies started running low about 30 minutes into the party. I began looking around for alternatives. Could I just use sandwich bread? Of course I could, but that is so lame. It was then when I noticed the pile of waffles that my sister in law had made early that morning. They were the thinner type of waffle and they had hot dog bun written all over them. Due to the semi-sweetness of the waffle I decided to for-go the mustard and stick with a naked dog. Needless to say, the BBQB saved the day and started wrapping the dogs with waffles.

Birthplace of the Waffle Dog
Many of you have probably heard of 'chicken and waffles', but many of you probably have not heard of the 'waffle dog', first invented in Menlo Park, California. In all fairness, for you to know you would have had to have been with me at my niece's 4th birthday party yesterday where I invented it.

That's workable! I'll take 2 please.
It's a good thing this is documented with a time/date stamp. You can raise a ruckus when McDonald's tries to bite your idea.
Kimmie, I think I am going to be proactive about this and start shopping my idea around to the local eateries. Dairy Queen here I come!
