Did you know that March 25th is International Waffle Day? This delicious holiday is observed around the world, but it was originally celebrated in Sweden. If you don’t have a waffle maker in your apartment, here are five Lexington restaurants you can visit to enjoy one of the fluffy, flavorful breakfast treats.
