University of Louisiana at Lafayette supporters can get fired up for Homecoming with the launch of the Ragin’ Cajuns® Waffle sold exclusively at Viva La Waffle.
The Ragin’ Cajuns® Waffle features a cane pepper jelly-glazed fried chicken breast topped with melted pepper jack cheese and crispy jalapeño strips.
This is the first year that Viva La Waffle, a food truck turned brick-and-mortar restaurant, will offer the spirited waffle for a limited run. The restaurant is located at 101 Liberty Ave. in Lafayette.
“When Viva La Waffle was a food truck, some of our biggest supporters were UL Lafayette students. As an alum, it’s a dream come true and full-circle moment to partner with the University on the Ragin’ Cajuns® Waffle,” said Collin Cormier, owner and founder of Viva La Waffle.
It will go on sale Friday, in time for fans to enjoy one before the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns square off against South Alabama on Saturday in Mobile.
"The University is excited to collaborate with Viva La Waffle on this one-of-a-kind creation that's sure to satisfy the taste buds of any true Ragin' Cajuns fan,” said Leslie Saloom, UL Lafayette’s associate director of Trademark Licensing. “That we're able to team up with a local business owned and operated by alumni makes this partnership all the more special.”
