On Waffle House

[SLB]

I *always* thought those cooks were rockstars.

Good article.  I admit to skimming through the more philosophical bits!  I never knew about the FEMA Waffle House Index!  

 

Side story - Mr. Kim and I ended up having Christmas dinner at Waffle House this year.  We were supposed to be at his sister's for dinner, but my mother got sick that afternoon.  We had to take her to the ER.  By the time they checked her out and decided to admit her, it was too late to join the family and neither of us felt like preparing anything.  We ended up at Waffle House with a lot of other disheveled travelers and sleepy children.  And you know what?  It was warm, they made us feel welcome, the food was hot and good and we didn't have to cook it or wash dishes.  I think Mr. Kim tipped about 100%.

There are, for sure, times when an Awful Waffle trip just hits the spot. I just wish my local one could make decent coffee.
