Poutine Waffle Recipes

The Vulgar Chef Made a French Fry Waffle and Topped it Canada-Style

— January 6, 2015 — Lifestyle
At first when you hear poutine waffle, you might think of a traditional French Canadian dish made with waffle fries, cheese curds and gravy. The Vulgar Chef, however, has his own ideas. Using a waffle iron, the food blogger used slightly warmed up frozen french fries to create a giant waffle. The whole thing is then topped with cheese and gravy, making it the most epic Canadian savory waffle.

Using the same waffle maker and method, he expanded beyond the poutine waffle to make pulled pork waffles and a corned beef hash waffle topped with an egg. That essentially means by using the iron as a grill, you can enjoy waffle shaped everything for every meal.

1. Savory Waffle Recipes - Creating waffles out of unconventional ingredients creates opportunities for innovation in the food industry.
2. Alternative Uses for Waffle Irons - Using waffle irons as a grill presents opportunities for innovation across various industries, including home appliances and outdoor equipment.
3. Hybrid Cuisine - The combination of traditional French and Canadian cuisine in the poutine waffle presents opportunities for innovation in the culinary industry.
Industry Implications

2. Home Appliance - Exploring alternative uses for waffle irons can disrupt the home appliance industry by expanding the market for multifunctional kitchen gadgets.
3. Outdoor Equipment - Using waffle irons as a portable grill can disrupt the outdoor equipment industry by introducing a new compact camping gadget for cooking on-the-go.
