Although it’s a compact operation that serves only takeout food, What the Waffle which opened last summer amid widespread protests prompted by the killing of George Floyd offers an impactful interior enlivened by the work of artist Adriane McMillon.
McMillon’s skillful contributions include paintings of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on one knee (echoing a famous photograph taken during the Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, march); Rosa Parks waiting at a bus stop; and Muhammad Ali pierced with arrows like Renaissance depictions of St. Sebastian. McMillon also designed a large chalkboard wall, with “WAFFLE” written in glittering dimensional letters, that customers can express themselves on.
