CHEF STICKS WITH WINNING WAFFLES
FIRST came ice cream in a cone, now we have waffles on a stick.
Gold Coast chef Mark Dela Paz, who has worked at top restaurants such as The Cambus Wallace, has started selling the colourful desserts at Miami Marketta.
“I noticed a lot of people struggling to eat waffles from a plate,” said the 30year-old, who is selling more than 100 every night.
“And for me to survive in this atmosphere where there’s so much competition, I knew I had to do something different.
“We get huge line-ups every night, I have to pack hundreds now so that nobody misses out.” Mr Dela Paz will soon start selling out of a food truck, called Edizon’s Street Food, in multiple locations.
The waffle flavours include apple pie (apple, white chocolate, caramel), tooth fairy (gummy bears, sour worms), strawberries and chocolate, malteasers, Kit Kat and Mars Bar.
