Shortly after moving to Waco, I met Seth Dumont. He owns a number of businesses in the area - including, The WACO Waffle Company. Seth and I sat down in the little hotel opposite the restaurant for a conversation, then I spoke with staff and patrons on the day of the WACO Waffle third anniversary celebration.
