T’s Rose Window Belgian Waffle

by | Dec 28, 2020

Back in 2005 one of T’s co-owners, Anthony Tomaselli, was having lunch with renown Rhode Island painter Maxwell Mays (1918–2009) at T’s Cranston. Tina Tomaselli placed one of their house-made Belgian waffles with fruit and yogurt in front of the artist who exclaimed, “Oh, a Rose Window Waffle, how unique!” From then on this best seller has gone by that name since the dish does resemble a large circular stained glass window!
