Wasso gato?

From the Creator of the Cronut: The Waffogato

First he invented the illustrious cronut, then the internet went crazy for his milk and cookie shots, and now Dominque Ansel is at it again, this time with the Waffogato. Ansel recently stopped by the Wendy Williams show to tout his latest creation, which features a vanilla ice cream "waffle" with tapioca balls and bits of Belgian waffle inside. A shot of hot maple syrup espresso is then poured over the frozen waffle, which releases the tapioca balls as it begins to melt, creating a sweet sauce for the remaining ice cream. The new offering will be available at the bakery beginning May 9.

I remember overhearing a conversation once between a Mexican and a U.S. citizen who were sitting at a nearby table in Mexico City. I am not sure what the topic was, but at one point the Mexican woman threw up her hands and said, "You'll never understand. In your country you give milk to cats."

Wonder what she would say about Waffogatos? (Gato is the Spanish word for cat.)
