Why I love the Waffle House


Last night Laura and I had the privilege of visiting one of my favorite eating establishments with my sister and brother in law Amber and Aaron. I don't get to visit the Waffle House to often because they won't let them build them anywhere near the west coast. So anytime I come back to Tennessee I have to make at least one trip back to the WaHo. Here is a little best of list from our trip last night in no particular order..

1. No smoking inside anymore. This means no ash in your food.
2. The restaurant is empty and the parking lot is full.
3. It now smells like a bathroom.
4. Special Lady at the Waffle House is always on the jukebox and I will always play it. I skipped out on the Waffle House Do Wop.
5. When it's slow the Waitress will stand and talk to you the whole time.
6. She will tell you about how she has a customer who recently got Salmonella poisoning from eating their undercooked eggs and had to take medicine for a year. This makes you not hungry very quickly.
7. There's a picture of promo picture of their chili and it looks like the guy is holding a cigarette over the bowl.
8. They are always open.
9. 12 hours later I still have a gut bomb
10. When I got back to the house I found a Waffle House Camoflauge shirt on my bed. (Team RealTree)
