For a brief moment, the marriage of waffles and corn dogs became a reality in L.A. During the "Eat My Blog" charity event over the weekend in Pasadena, which raised money for victims of Typhoon Haiyan, the waffle corn dog was unveiled.
Night + Market, the one that sold the waffle corn dog, was one of the over 25 all-stars of the L.A. food scene—from chefs to bloggers—whipping up dishes at Coolhaus Pasadena on Nov. 23 for their "bake sale." This wasn't your average PTA cupcake and cookie sale. Animal also served delectable cream-cheese pumpkin bars, and The Hart & The Hunter as well as The Tasting Kitchen were just some of the restaurants involved in the event.
The waffle corn dog has been popular in Hawaii and the Philippines, but unfortunately, it doesn't look like we can buy it anywhere in Los Angeles just yet. We can only dream...
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
