Liége at Last!

The result of my waffle craving was a first official meal back in NYC at Resto.  After a little online research, I discovered the gaufre du Liége on the brunch menu and promptly called my Grandma Thelma for a Sunday date.  Rain had cooled the city and we both found that to be reason enough for waffles.  I scored the classic version and she (balls to the wall!) went for the eggs benedict which came atop lardon Liége - that's right, a savory rendition dotted with thick chunks of bacon. In The Waffle.

My plate came with two Liége waffles and a sprinkling of fruit.  Delicious and satisfying. A long last.

My grandmothers meal was serious.  I was lucky to have scored a few bites.  The savory waffle/egg combo was - while not necessarily my specific taste - an extremely worthy dish.  Do they do this in Liége or would they call it sacriLiége?
