Anywho, after my children became teenagers, they suddenly were mortified by my behavior and the complaint department shut down. I would simply not eat it. UNTIL, we stopped one day to have a late lunch early dinner at Bob Evan's and my beloved standby order of a Belgium Waffle disappeared off the menu and some crazy hash thingy replaced it.
I did complain to our waitress and I continued every time we went. After our third trip I decided to go online and voice my consumer opinion. "Why take it away? It wasn't broken. It was the perfect little warm vanilla fluffy goodness! Please bring it back?!"
Regretfully, I did not hear back from them. They had the waffle irons...why stop making them? I was going to just become a Bob Evan's sandwich eater :( and it made me sad.
UNTIL, this Sunday when we stopped at the one in Chillicothe, OH and as I scanned the menu, looking back and forth between sandwich's and salads, and once again complaining about them taking away my beloved Waffle, I flipped the menu to the breakfast section...
My poor David blushed. I squealed with delight!! To him I probably sounded like that obnoxious squealing pig in the insurance commercial! Right there...at the VERY TOP of the breakfast menu, was a shiny new sticker!! On that sticker...."New, improved recipe, Belgium Waffles."!!!
Yes, I ordered it! I remember giggling like a schoolgirl when I said the words, "Belgium Waffle". It was heavenly, with my side of bacon and coffee. It WAS my free day selection. Something usually reserved for Friday's. No regrets, no shame, not one bit concerned about the calories, I savored every single bite. And, I even made a point to tell our waitress just how happy I was it was back. She smiled and said, "Lots of people missed them."
The Customer is ALWAYS right...voicing your opinion may actually get you what you want. Lesson here=don't mess with our Belgium Waffles!!
THANK YOU BOB EVAN's!!! :))) I am one Happy Waffle Gal!
