Famous for the Authentic and Fresh Caramelized Waffle - Liège Waffle, Brussels Waffle, Best Fries of Utah since 2012, Machine Gun Sandwich and much more.
Pierre Vandamme was born and raised in Brugge (Bruges), Belgium. In March 2004, after living in Salt Lake City for 10 years, Pierre and fellow Belgian Philippe Wyffels adapted an old family recipe for the Liège waffle and started a waffle business selling waffles on Main Street in Salt Lake City from a vending cart. The same year they operated the cart at the Downtown Salt Lake City Farmers Market and some local summer events.
It didn’t take long for ‘Utahns’ and the local media to fall for the charms of these Belgian waffle artists. Or was it the aromas of melting butter and caramelizing sugar that were so enchanting? Either way, they were ambitious and soon added Belgian style fries ‘frites’ to the menu. It was a big hit!
Thanks to the many loyal fans and admiring articles in the press, Pierre was soon able to open a year-round operation, a small but charming ‘hole in the wall’ across from the farmers market on Broadway. Its tiny interior, sidewalk patio, and Belgian attributes evoke the old world ambiance as soon as you set foot inside. Along with a real kitchen came a new product: the Machine Gun Sandwich®, featured on Man v. Food.
