Brussels waffle history
According to legend, the first Brussels waffle was crafted in 1856 by Maximilien Consael, a young and innovative chef. Created in the privacy of his kitchen in central Brussels, this waffle quickly gained popularity across Belgium, thanks to the enthusiastic support of his friends and family who tasted it. Its fame was solidified in 1964 when it was dubbed the "Belgian waffle" at the World's Fair in New York.
