Why would someone create a sandwich of waffles and danish? If I’m remembering the story correctly, I’ll tell you why.
We went and tried one of McDonald’s new healthier options, a Southwest Salad. We weren’t fans of the BBQ sauce on the salad, but have since heard other reviews that place the salad in higher esteem. Maybe the restaurant we went to was just phoning it in.
Anyway, we thought it would be funny to create a salad of cheeseburgers. It was. We didn’t eat that though.
Twitter got rolling on things and before you know it CJSR’s Makin’ Whoopee is talking about the “Samsonowich,” a breakfast delicacy made of waffles and danish. With whipped cream or syrup to top it off.
Fast-forward to Saturday, and our attempt at a live, late-night, Edmonton talk show, and you’ve got a need to create this monstrosity of breakfast, in a cooking segment.
You know what? It was actually pretty good.
We used Eva Sweet (vanilla) waffles, so we started with the best waffles any of us had ever had. I picked up some danish (It has to be cherry!) at Sobeys, whipped up the cream myself, and put it all together live on the air.
It’s likely not a healthy option to start your day, but damn if it isn’t a delicious, messy way to kick things off.

Saturday Night with Samsonow is continually looping on our livestream.com account. We didn’t know it would do that, but it’s kind of cool.
If you watch, just pretend the parts without sound are our attempt at an artsy film school submission.
If you were any sort of business people, you’d start selling ‘samsonwiches’ in your merchandise catalogue. Now go and make money, so we can sue you for it later!
I feel like you could market this through Burger King.
I see in today’s headlines that Cora’s is opening more locations in Edmonton. I think I’ll try them on it.
But you’re right, it would fit in on the BK menu. A little too well…
