According to foodtimeline.org:
The inventor of the Belgian waffle made famous by the 1964-65 New York World's Fair was Maurice Vermersch: "Vermersch started making waffles from a recipe of his wife's when living in Belgium before the outbreak of World War II. After serving in the war, he started two restaurants in Belgium before making his World's Fair debut at the Brussels fair in 1960. Business went so well in Brussels that Vermersch and four other families decided to head to New York for the 1964 World's Fair. And when they arrived in Queens, the name of their product was changed from the Brussel Waffle to the Belgian Waffle. The name Belgian waffle was created in New York."

Waffles in Belgium?
A Belgian waffle is a type of waffle identified by its larger size, lighter batter and higher grid pattern which forms deep pockets and has larger squares. In Belgium, there are a number of different types of waffle, including the Brussels waffle, the Liège waffle and the stroopwafel; what is known in North America as a "Belgian waffle" is most similar to the Brussels waffle. As opposed to a traditional waffle, the Belgian waffle attributes its height to the use of yeast batter instead of a pancake batter. They are often eaten as a breakfast food. In North America, they are usually served with butter (or margarine) and maple syrup or with vanilla ice cream and fresh fruit (such as strawberries) as a dessert.

Waffles originated in Belgium, where they are still popularly sold - and eaten - today. They can be store bought in plastic wraps or fresh and hot from numerous 'waffle stands' that line busy shopping streets. Belgian waffles are viewed more as a snack or sugary treat. There are also 2 different types of Belgian waffles - Liege waffles (more sugary and common) and Brussels waffles. It is not typical for waffles to be eaten for breakfast in Belgium (unless you have really indulgent parents).
