As excited as I am to see the ridiculously high standards to which she holds next year's competitors, I believe that she is likely more excited to have finally earned the right to say surprisingly mean things to her friends as they endeavor only to do her the solid of feeding her. I'm stupid excited.
Her winning waffle is pictured above in all it's blurry glory. Nancy called it her "reaction to all the snooty waffles." The waffle itself was composed of destroyed tater tots, onions, and spices. She topped it with a few more tater tots, some green beans, and a simple (but elegant) canned cream soup. It's a waffle take on the Minnesota classic tater tot hot dish (which I've never actually eaten). I was also a big fan of the slight amount of spite that went in to it's conception (see the quote above).
Additional, and slightly lesser, congratulations to Scott and Rosie, the winners of this years Waffle Bowl MVP award. Scott has been involved in either five or six Waffle bowls and has now won nearly 50 MVP awards. (Okay, so I may be exaggerating, but people tend to like his waffles a lot.) This is Rosie's first incredibly successful waffle, and (I suspect) her competitive waffling experience.
Their garlic-chive mashed potato waffle with grilled halloumi cheese, charred shallot gravy and a poached egg with chives, was, in a word, baller. I think it's something about the most deliciousest waffles that cause them to appear blurry in photos.
Thanks, congratulations, etc to all of our participants. I wouldn't be this full without you. An extra special thanks to last year's winners, Adam and Erica, for lending us all their taste buds and judgments. But their time has past. The king and queen are dead. Long live the queen. (The queen in this instance is Nancy. Y'all prolly picked up on that though.)
