Bolognese ’74 Jeffles

There was a time when cheese jaffles were practically my signature snack. I had them almost every day and, let’s just say, I got pretty chubby (lol). So, when I spotted Good Ways Deli doing a special jaffles menu to mark 50 years of the Original ’74 Jaffle Maker with @brevilleaus, I had to check it out.

I was eyeing the three-cheese option hard, but the béchamel on top of the bolognese sealed the deal. Taste-wise, it was right on point. The bolognese had this mild, nostalgic flavour, and the béchamel added a creamy touch. Loved the little burnt bits on top too. The bread had that perfect crunch on the sides with a soft centre—classic jaffles style. Overall, it was a super satisfying bite; what started as a light snack actually turned out to be pretty filling.

If I could add one thing, it’d be more cheese pull—there was a hint of it, but not quite enough. Outside of that, I loved the attention to detail—they went all out with storefront murals, creating the perfect vibe to celebrate the Original ’74 Jaffle Maker. I even snagged a jaffle keyring, which I’m super stoked about.
