I don't know who you weird ass people are that don't put anything on your waffles, but you couldn't possibly be more wrong. Waffles are so meh, they NEED ice cream or syrup to taste delicious. Ideally, you cut off a piece of waffle, then dip it in syrup to enjoy all of the flavors and get the terrific crispiness. Preferable, there's some sort of pie filling like fruit and whipped cream to top them though.
