The Belgian Trifecta!

Decisions. Decisions. Which One to Choose?
The challenge: Complete the gastronomical marathon which we dubbed “The Belgian Trifecta”: Consumption of world-class beer, chocolates, and waffles.
The timeframe: A brief, but enjoyable ~18 hours.
The disclaimer: The Belgian Trifecta should not be attempted by pregnant women or people operating heavy equipment. Side effects of The Belgian Trifecta include sticky fingers and a desire to nap.
The approach: We took a programmatic approach to tackling The Belgian Trifecta. First, we built up our courage by consuming a few local beers including an Affligem blond pale ale and Maredsous brown. Fortified with our libations, we stepped into the cool night air and located a small waffle stand near our good friend Manneken Pis; we sought balance with our topping selections of caramel and strawberry. Overtaken by a strong desire to nap (see disclaimer), we retired to our hotel facing shame and defeat. We had lost the battle, but not the war - The next morning we found new inspiration and secured a hearty breakfast of chocolaty bonbons before heading out of town.
The outcome: No victory was ever sweeter!
