Back in the early days of WoW, my guild would play that song on Ventrilo during raids as either a celebration or as a hype up. Good times.

All very good excuses to ingest maple syrup
This is the answer. They are simply delicious vehicles for butter and maple syrup (none of that fake shit either…).
I mean…
Waffles > Pancakes > French Toast
French toast > pancakes > waffles
You dammed heathen!
I'm with CGP Grey. He notes that it depends on the quality of the restaurant. French Toast has both higher highs and lower lows than the other two.
Look, I don't agree, but I can understand how you might put French toast first, but in what world are Pancakes better than waffles???
Yes but savory french toast rules all. Red Dog Toast is also very good.
"red dog toast"
That looks delicious. Thanks!
Waffles are superior to pancakes, french toast is in it's own lane vibing.

French toast sticks - crispy ones from Shoney's - are the best thing. Otherwise, French toast is okay, Belgian waffles with savory toppings are good, and everything else is meh.
Edit: On the off chance you're referencing this, yeah we like waffles.

Tip for the people who don't like waffles: go to Belgium and visit a 'wafelhuis'. Order a Liège or Brussels waffle with a good topping like powdered sugar, whipped cream or chocolate sauce.
Just beware that you go to a proper place and not a tourist scam saloon. If it has stupid toppings like m&m's or Nutella go to a different place (proper chocolate sauce>>>>Nutella). If it advertises Belgian waffles instead of Liège waffles and/or Brussels waffles go away.
If you ate some Liège and Brussels waffles and still don't like them, you are a lost cause.
It's a good way to eat breakfast and feed my sourdough starter at the same time.
French toast>waffles>pancakes.
The correct answer. Tho the waffles have to be the good kind not eggo or whatever.
Of course. Made in one of those cast iron flip waffle pans and cooked enough to be a bit crisp instead of soggy.
It depends on the quality of the food imo. Like, if I’m in a super fancy restaurant, you know the French toast is about to be totally bomb. If you’re at a shifty diner, pancakes are really hard to fuck up. This being said, I think waffles are very consistent across the board
I would go Pancake -> French Toast -> Waffles.
All are good but pancakes are the food of the gods.
What about crêpes vs pancakes? Crêpes imho but to each their own!
Oh yeah I would go crepes for sure! I'm from Europe so I was thinking more of the crepe-y kind of pancakes anyway.
I always used to assume crêpes when people said 'pancake' but I have since learned of the American pancake and how different it is.
Crêpes are the best. Love a savoury crêpe so much.
I like all of them, I only have them occasionally though. I can't say there is a better one but of the three I've had pancakes more than the other two.
I don't mean to brag
I don't mean to boast
but I'm intercontinental when I eat French toast
Good versions of all three are delicious! Even average French toast is pretty good, but i can skip average waffles and pancakes.
In my humble opinion: Crepes > French Toast > Pancakes > Waffles
Waffles: Not that hard to do right, you just need to separate the eggwhites and whisk them hard before reintegration.
Pancakes: The breakfast workhorse. Great with a fried egg on top. Make it with rendered bacon fat instead of oil and a yoghurt-water mix instead of buttermilk for a richer flavor.
French toast: I don't know who is out here teaching people this should be a sweet dish and garnishing it with sugar. When made savory, it's the best of the three and not at all difficult to make if you have a good egg whisk and the right kind of bread. But it should only have enough sugar in it to help the outside caramelize! One tablespoon per three eggs is enough. Make sure you salt the eggsop, too.

I really want a waffle now.
I love waffles and pancakes, french toast is alright.
They're pretty good, but the problem I always have with waffles is that the moisture on the underside of a waffle builds up/condenses onto the plate, which creates sogginess. I always prefer my waffles to be very crisp, so this sogginess undermines that and introduces that awkward "crunchy but also ew soft" factor that screws up later waffle sections. I can fix this a little by putting a paper towel under them on the plate, but this feels wasteful and sometimes draws confusion from friends or family who don't seem to care about this issue.
By this merit, I usually find pancakes preferable since they completely cover the plate under them, leaving no air for moisture to condense from, and they're porous enough to just absorb any such moisture without a meaningful change in consistency anyway.
Anybody else experience this? Got tips for waffle technique?
none of that matters when you're addicted to Muesli.. hail Muesli, full of Grains.. Mightiest among Oatmeals.. Blessed be the Dried Fruits of Thy Bowl..
but here are my rules: sausage with pancakes, bacon with french toast, waffles are a bi-meat morning pastry (sausage or bacon)
waffles obviously go both ways

I'm more of an eggs, potatoes, and bacon/sausage breakfast guy myself. I've not been a "cake" for breakfast man, ever. I'll dabble in a little toasted english with butter, but want the star attractions, and leave the "fill you up with flour and sugar" stuff to others
To be honest not really. Just tastes kind of bland, which is why I think people need to douse them in syrup and other toppings.
For breakfast I’m all about eggs and bagels
Preposterous.
Just like humans, waffles are social creatures. They simply rely on toppings to become a better version of themselves. They are accepting of all cultures, be it sugar, syrup, chocolate or even strawberry jam. This is because as Friedrich Nietzsche said: "There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths." One topping simply cannot be the true topping.
Once a topping is placed on the waffle, it becomes part of the waffle. Part of its taste, part of its existence. It completes it. Therefore to say that a waffle is bland because it has no topping is like saying that a human is incapable of anything because you once saw a lone human in nature get eaten by a wolf.
Waffles are a reflection of humanity and you are simply running away.

French toast is superior to both. Waffles and pancakes are just meh.
I like waffles and pancakes but I'm not a fan of french toast.
Waffles are a treat, great with sweet things like fruit and cream and syrup!
French toast is amazing, ketchup, sausage, tasty!
Pancakes, I want to like them but I feel a bit sickly after them...
