The Secret Waffle Society has reopened at a new location. Jared Rasic reviewed the food truck back in November, calling it a delicious study in dichotomies. You may have seen it when it was parked downtown at the corner of Greenwood and Bond, but their lease was up at the end of November. They’re now at the east end of Bend on Brosterhous Road at Sun Outdoors RV Resort. Owned by two veterans who love to feed people, the truck specializes in stuffed Belgian waffles. To satisfy the sweet tooth, flavors include strawberry, apple pie or Nutella filled. For those seeking savory, you have a choice of spicy chicken & cheddar, maple sausage & cheddar or smoked bacon & cheddar. They also serve a street pickle dressed like Mexican street corn.
Co-owner Zeus previously told the Source he received his first waffle maker at age 14 and learned to make Belgian waffles. That skill served him well as a chef in the military. He says the new location is doing well and he’s been able to hire employees. He also caters parties.
An important part of the Secret Waffle Society’s mission has been to provide a meal and water to anyone in need, calling hot food a human right, but Zeus says, “Since moving we haven’t been able to pass out meals quite the same so we’re looking for a charity to make donations to or groups that could benefit from our food. something like hungry families in Bend or a halfway house. We’d love crowd suggestions!”

Colorful snowballs that melt in your mouth
A new food cart specializing in authentic New Orleans sno balls has opened at On Tap. The owners of Sno Ball Express describe their product as a snow cone with fluffy, melt-in-your mouth ice that holds all the flavor. They offer 38 flavors, 18 combinations and four different toppings.
One of the owners grew up in New Orleans and had a yearning for the nostalgic treat so he decided to buy a trailer and open up shop in Bend. Right now, Sno Ball Express is open Thursdays-Sundays but will expand to Tuesdays-Sundays starting June 11.
