Question of the Week

Pancakes or waffles?

Pancakes. They’re simple, dependable, and don’t require specialized equipment or a PhD in batter geometry. Waffles always feel like overachievers, showing off with their little pockets. I just want breakfast, not a grid of expectations.

Russell Givens, 67, former vending machine route efficiency analyst

Waffles. They hold more syrup, which is the whole point. Pancakes just let it run off the sides like they’re trying to be healthy. I like a breakfast that knows its purpose and sticks to it.

Sheila Treadwell, 43, freelance neighborhood newsletter fact checker

Both, depending on the mood. Pancakes for comfort, waffles for commitment. If you make me choose, it means you don’t understand me. Or breakfast. Or the complexities of modern life.
