I'm partial to a jaffle myself.

I can't see a menu on the website. I wonder how gourmet they go. I'm happy with cheese & tomato perhaps some baked beans thrown in. Occasionally some left over bolognese if I'm feeling adventurous.

I heard him talking about this last year I think on SEN. He mentioned a few different types that they were starting off with. From memory the ingredients sounded pretty standard and i don't think he mentioned more than about 4 or 5 different types of jaffles.

 

Nothing like taking the roof of your mouth off with volcanic hot baked beans in a jaffle in the middle of winter.

He might be onto a winner here.

When your main competition is Warwick Capper, it won't be hard to come across as intelligent, professional or likeable.

I’m reminded of the Hotter than Hell banner in the cheer squad

I guarantee they use the clam shell style jaffle maker

Baked beans, chilli con carne-style, with chopped habanero chillies, shaved Parmesan, avocado cubes and lime juice with thick wholemeal/grain bread, hand-sliced from the loaf! Hotter than hell. A couple of cans of Carlton never tasted so good.

The next day....

 

BANG!!!

I had a Jaffle from Maxys  van today at the Commercial hotel beer garden in Yarraville.

Max wasn’t there, but it’s being run in partnership with his younger brother.

i had a pastrami cheese and pickle one, and it tasted good. Basically a toasted sandwich. Took over half an hour to make though , so thought it was a very long wait, but I guess teething problems are to be expected in a brand new venture.

Wasn't he starting up a cafe in Camberwell?

I reckon you’ll find Max is more figurehead than hands on in this venture, but making the odd “celebrity” appearance. It appears to be a Gawn Brothers venture underwritten by Max.

So DZ how much did they charge? Good value for money?

What else was on the menu?

They charged about 8 bucks and other flavors they had were ham off the bone, baked beans, kewpie and sweet with apple and cinnamon.

Younger and shorter?

So the service is great, expect that they keep giving first bite to the midfielders.

Boom-tish.

(Is everyone glad I'm back from holidays?)

Anything hotter?  I reckon the jam from a microwaved donut would go close SWYL!

Worked in an office with a bloke who would guts 80% of any morning tea provided.  Left a plate of microwaved jam donuts out on the kitchen table.  Taught the bustard a valuable albeit, painful lesson.

On the topic of jaffles, I love 'em with just about anything but particularly cooked over an open camp fire.

We had a cleaner, a big French guy, he would come in and eat all the cream biscuits in the tea room. One day I left one cream biscuit on the table, cream removed and filled with wasabi. He swallowed it whole and soon turned green, he never stole another biscuit.

Edit- In the 60's the Herbert Adams pies served at the footy were like molten lava inside and if it dripped between your fingers it would burn like hell.
