For one special weekend our bakers turned the waffle iron into a love letter: golden cornbread waffles pressed into heart shapes, finished with whipped honey butter and a drizzle of warm maple syrup.<\/p>\n\n

Hundreds of boxes left our kitchen still warm, each one packed by hand. Here is the story of how the idea came together, and the reservation-book of regulars who made it sell out by noon.<\/p>\n\n

How the heart shape began<\/h3>\n\n

It started as a joke on a slow Thursday, when a pastry cook clamped a heart-shaped mould onto the iron to see if the batter would take. The first one came out lopsided and perfect, and by closing time the whole team wanted a box to take home.<\/p>\n\n
