This dish made up of the cornbread waffles is like the one served at Hippie Mommas in San Antonio, Texas. It also happens to be the most popular dish there (and with good reason). You can definitely forgo the chili if you’re looking for a sweet dish but I recommend trying it this way before making your own version.

 

6. Chicken & Waffle Sandwiches with Bacon, Cheddar & Green Onion

It’s easy to pass this dish off as “another clever waffle sandwich” but upon closer inspection, you’ll find that what sets this waffle sandwich apart. Jonathan Melendez incorporates green onions, bacon, and cheddar. This batter transforms a waffle into something our taste buds never tried before.

Food truck fare is wacky and this recipe is the perfect example of that! Savory tacos are delicious, but chocolate-dipped tacos? Well, now you’re making me blush. These dessert tacos still have the satisfying crunch from hard shell tacos with the addition of sugar, chocolate, and more sugar!

This recipe is a good try when you crave for Mad Maui BBQ’s heart-stopping Texas Beef Brisket Melt. It tastes as good as the real thing. This recipe also doesn’t call for caramelized onion but feel free to add some if you want. I love decadent sandwiches like this. It reminds me of state fair foods which are fatty, fried, and delicious!

 

10. Fried Calamari Sandwich

Fried Calamari Sandwich

This is the golden age of seafood. As more recipes are turning towards proteins like lobster and squid. In this recipe, fried calamari is the main star. The breading is delicate and the calamari itself is tender–just the way you like it! If you’re throwing a get-together, I recommend bringing this dish along. It is light and perfect for every palate.

Jerk chicken can be hard to master at home. Since it has a specific flavor profile which needs ingredients such as pimento wood. This recipe, yet, makes it easier to put together and master. The best parts about this are the texture and taste of the chicken. It tastes like the jerk chicken you’d find in Jamaica.

Mmm, ramen! The versatility of ramen is what makes it one of my favorite dishes ever! Ramen is a great dish to serve at dinner or whenever friends and family are over.

The Cuban sandwich is the king of sandwiches as it’s made with 2 (sometimes 3) kinds of meat. Add melted Swiss cheese, tangy mustard, and pickles to the mix. This sandwich is a variation of the American ham and cheese. So if that’s your jam, this will be your new favorite sandwich.
