Volkswaffle, the delightful food truck that serves liege waffles, has opened its long-awaited brick and mortar location in Carmichael.

According to a liege waffle blog, "authentic Liège waffles are one of life’s great indulgences — caramelized sugar glistening on the most delicious buttery-sweet, vanilla-laden treasure beneath."

In addition to their signature waffles, Volkswaffle will be serving hot, iced and blended coffee and a new Flemish Brussles Waffle soon.

So what's a Brussels Waffle and how is it different than a Liege waffle? I didn't know either, but this is what the Internet says:

Brussels waffles were made with a thin, yeast-leavened batter which makes them lighter and their appearance is more rectangular with deeper holes and smooth edges. Liege waffles (named after a town in Eastern Belgium) are made with a batter that is more like bread dough; thick and sticky.

Volkswaffle is one of my favorite sweet treats. Every time I see them, I pull over and grab a waffle.

Volkswaffle is located at 4140 Manzanita in Carmichael, and can be found on Facebook.

Beer Run: Sacramento’s Twelve Rounds Brewing goes the distance - There were moments over the past three years when Dan and Elle Murphy, frustrated by delays and staggered by cost overruns for overhauling an old building that was not up to code, felt like scrapping the whole idea.

He’d racked up numerous awards in home-brew competitions. This brewery, if he and his wife could ever pull it off, was going to be his life. Blair Anthony Robertson in the Sac Bee.
