Craving a Mosaic of Flavors

Goodland Waffles & Melts brings good stuff to Downtown Santa Barbara.

Craving a Mosaic of Flavors

“During her pregnancy, she just wanted waffles and watermelon,” Bobby Georges said of his wife, Courtney, whose particular craving inspired his tasty spot on State Street, Goodland Waffles & Melts.

“She had gestational diabetes, so we couldn’t do it all the time,” Georges said of his desire to treat his wife to the perfect waffle. “I started going through these recipes, and I remembered one my mom had for a yeasted overnight waffle batter. They’re really good, and we found out it didn’t really spike her blood sugar much.”

Georges’s mission to concoct the model waffle sprung not only from being a good husband, but also from his impressive cooking background.
