A Bite of Belgium for Breakfast, Brunch and More<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jerry<\/strong>: “Don’t you know what it means to become an orgy guy? It changes
\n<\/em>everything. I’d have to dress different. I’d have to act different. I’d have to
\n<\/em>grow a mustache and get all kinds of robes and lotions and I’d need a new
\n<\/em>bedspread and new curtains I’d have to get thick carpeting and weirdo lighting.
\n<\/em>I’d have to get new friends. I’d have to get orgy friends.
\n<\/em>… Naw, I’m not ready for it.”
\n<\/em>~Seinfeld<\/strong>
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

In the sixth season of Seinfeld, Jerry is dating Sandy, a “non-laugher” who seems unamused by his jokes. When Jerry goes to Sandy’s apartment he meets Laura, her roommate, who laughs at his jokes.\u00a0 Almost as important to the superficial Jerry, she’s very attractive. Jerry tells George he wants to break up with Sandy and date Laura. Jerry and George brainstorm how to accomplish “the roommate switch<\/em>“. After hours of mulling that challenge, George suggests Jerry propose a m\u00e9nage \u00e0 trois. Sandy will be disgusted, break up with Jerry, and tell Laura, who will feel flattered, paving the way for Jerry to ask her out. However, both Sandy and Laura agree to the m\u00e9nage \u00e0 trois.\u00a0 A\u00a0 shocked and scared Jerry backs out.<\/p>\n

The Front Dining Room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As quite possibly the most monogamous guy in the world, it always amused me when guy talk got around to sexploits: men bragging about their conquests and sharing their fantasies.\u00a0 I’ve heard women do this, too, but they’ve never invited me to such an event.\u00a0 No guy I knew had ever participated in a m\u00e9nage \u00e0 trois, sexual relations among three people, especially a married couple and a lover.\u00a0 Some of my guy friends admitted to wanting to be in a threesome, but only if it involved two women.\u00a0 None ever admitted to not having the bal…er, mettle to do it.<\/p>\n

Just the term m\u00e9nage \u00e0 trois seems to have a disarming effect on both men and women.\u00a0 When I ordered a m\u00e9nage \u00e0 trois<\/strong><\/em> (three li\u00e8ge waffles, lemon mousse, Bavarian cream, whipped cream, bananas, chocolate ganache, caramelized almonds, dressed with choice of fresh fruit or dried fruit), our server (the delightful Kendra) giggled a little.\u00a0 I told her it would be my first.\u00a0 She told me I’d love it (the waffles, not that other thing I’d never even consider).<\/p>\n

\"\"
Menage a Trois<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A Bite of Belgium opened on 1 October 2012, bringing something\u00a0 to Las Cruces that’ not even available in Albuquerque \u2013 authentic and tasty Belgian cuisine at an affordable cost. A Bite of Belgium offers customers a melange (not a m\u00e9nage)\u00a0 of items–from warm Belgian waffles made with real beet sugar, to a \u201cBelgian Burger\u201d with caramelized onions and Gouda cheese on a freshly baked brioche bun. From daily baked goods and “peasant-style” quiche to award winning tomato basil soup, A Bite of Belgium is a unique experience in the City of Crosses.<\/p>\n

Visiting Las Cruces and not having New Mexican cuisine is a bit like adultery…cheating on my Kim.\u00a0 It’s something I never thought I’d do.\u00a0 But then, great waffles are like an extraordinary woman.\u00a0 My friend Steve Coleman of Steve’s Food Blog<\/strong><\/a> loves it (A Taste of Belgium, not cheating) and he, too, is addicted to Las Cruces area New Mexican food.\u00a0 Steve accorded a rating of “24” to A Taste of Belgium, indicative of just how impressed he was with a restaurant specializing in the foods of his ancestral homeland.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Nutella and Banana Crepe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A Bite of Belgium isn’t a one-trick pony.\u00a0 Its menu offers much more than waffles.\u00a0 Open for breakfast, its menu offers delights in the following categories:\u00a0 Benedicts and Florentines,\u00a0 Bread, Breakfast Items, Omelets, Sandwiches and Soups.\u00a0 Red and green chile make an appearance on just a few dishes, but even addicts need variety once in a while.\u00a0 A Bite of Belgium may be the only restaurant in New Mexico not offering a breakfast burrito, but you can still have huevos rancheros.\u00a0 The Reuben and lamb sandwich were tempting, but the m\u00e9nage \u00e0 trois seduced me.<\/p>\n

Ah, the m\u00e9nage \u00e0 trois.\u00a0 It’s like a great wine with a blend that brings together three different varietals.\u00a0 There’s the tart and tangy lemon mousse that teases and flirts with your taste buds.\u00a0 There’s the chocolate ganache.\u00a0 Chocolate is renowned as an aphrodisiac, not that I’d ever emulate Jason Biggs’s “fascination” with apple pie<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0 Finally, there’s the whipped cream, a playful touch that more people have incorporated into their love-making than pastrami<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 This tasty trio had the effect of making me somnolent, but also very happy.\u00a0 What a wonderful breakfast.\u00a0 The liege waffles (a style of waffle made with yeast dough and pearl sugar resulting in a chewy and puffy yeasted waffle with caramelized bits of sugar on the surface) are magnificent!<\/p>\n

\"\"
A Bite of Belgium in Las Cruces<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of my Kim’s principle passions is nutella (maybe because the “nut” portion of the word reminds her of me).\u00a0 When she espied crepes, she knew what she’d order: crepes with nutella and bananas<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 There are dozens of items with which crepes can be topped or stuffed.\u00a0 Nutella and bananas are her favorite combination, especially if the bananas are sweet (without any of the telltale signs of being too ripe).\u00a0\u00a0 Nutella “tracks” decorate the plate (which she might have licked had there not been other diners).<\/p>\n

Much as I love pancakes, French toast and anything sweet for breakfast, waffles and crepes may become an addiction if we visit A Bite of Belgium more often.<\/p>\n
