On January 22nd Riff Raff chefs will host their third Waffle Frolic consisting of 90% local ingredients. The event will be held at The North Country Food Co-Op, 25 Bridge Street, in downtown Plattsburgh. Chefs will start the waffles at 9am-2pm. Riff Raff is asking attendees for 5-10 dollar donations to benefit the Rota Gallery. Locally grown and milled flour, fresh eggs and maple syrup which has been tapped by the Parker family will all be on the menu. Riff Raff will serve traditional waffles as well as egg and dairy free waffles.. The nominal 5-10 dollar donation will allow attendees to enjoy two large fresh waffles with real butter, coffee from local roasters or cider from Rulf’s Orchard.
The beneficiary of this event, the ROTA Gallery, is a local upstart gallery whose main focus is to give artist and community members a place to meet, show their work of art and listen to burgeoning local and regional musicians. The gallery is well on its way to obtaining non-profit status. Money raised at the Waffle Frolic will toward obtaining non-profit status and day-to-day operation costs.
