While on holidays in Queensland, Mum and I lunched at @decisionscafe. I’m always curious about other diners choices and quickly scanned several tables in the cafe until my eyes rested on a plate of golden hued waffles piled with savoury toppings. I searched the menu and found they were corn waffles. I went home to experiment.
