Photo of the Day: Texas Waffle
Photograph from MidtownLunch on Flickr
While in Austin for South by Southwest Interactive this week, Zach Brooks woke up to arguably one of the best complimentary motel breakfasts. The downtown Austin branch of La Quinta had a DIY Texas-shaped waffle iron. You know state pride runs deep when waffles are involved. The iron is actually available on Amazon for $59.95.

haha! my bad. Clearly I don't know what Texas looks like... I had the waffle upside down (lord help me, I'm not that bright). Nothing a little photoshop can't fix...

Oh, holy cow; that's gonna make this native Texan (and Austinite) go absolute bat-$h:t crazy. PLEASE fix the photo. That's just NOT right.

I echo Lara_Nell's call - flip the poor thing, flip it, please!

Now I don't feel so stupid for confusing my Vermont and New Hampshire pancakes.
Further evidence of a reversed pic: the fork goes on the left as any fine Waffle House diner knows.

Whoa! I had a similar shaped waffle at a Galveston La Quinta hotel- they went all out with the available toppings too... blueberry sauce, strawberry sauce, whipped cream... the list was a bit longer than that but I think that's all I had.
I wonder if it's still there, after the hurricane...

I found these Texas Shaped Waffle Irons online at Mission Restaurant Supply for $46.75. Looks like they stock them at their showrooms as well in Austin, San Antonio, and Corpus Christi.
