4:00 AM heading out and hungry. Have any of you ever thought about the salvation of Waffle House? This is the best read of the week:

Never been. I have no problem breaking two eggs into a cast iron skillet, and putting them on two pieces of toasted, whole wheat, with a slice of cheese, along with a cup of Joe and maybe a piece of fruit or a cup of yogurt, at 3:30AM.

Bill Cosby noted an American could eat anything on the face of the planet, if he had two pieces of bread.

I guess, salvation is where you find it.

Best,
Ted

Pretty tough to prepare your own breakfast at 4 a.m. when you're 600 miles away from home and enroute to a duck blind. While I think the writer's "comparison" of a Waffle House to a Christian church and heaven is silly, it is a small comfort that Waffle Houses are usually a constant, regardless of their location. And, at least in the case of those in the Deep South, they know how to cook decent coffee and grits. Not great, but decent.

This is more like it.

Same for Cracker Barrel up here in "Damn Yankee Land"" also Bob Evans- both have good coffee (no Yuppie Starbucks swill) and fairly good grits. No cathead biscuits though- pity that. RWTF

It’s not Waffle House, it’s Waffle Home.

Argo44,
I laughed my tail off when I read that article. I went to college at Auburn, and my buddies and I were a Waffle House regulars. Just last week I saw one of my best friends from college, he and I have been friends for 35 years, and we were joking about scattered, smothered, covered and chunked… Here is some more Waffle House lore, and the lady who wrote this even suggests it’s a suitable place to take your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day! Thank you for sharing that.

Waffle House, home of the World’s thinnest bacon!

Funny, but not true. Shoneys and Perkins (more common in the north) wis that prize and have much worse food too.


But Sunday morning here in the backyard shows winter's dying breath is a pretty one.

When I do drive 600 miles, to hunt or, fish, give or take, I’m pretty much self contained, as there hasn’t been a Waffle House for 500 of those miles. I have thermoses of soup, charcoal, a grille, and plenty of coolers in the back of the truck. Hanging around with Lloyd in Lake of the Woods county, he does know of a few restaurants, and if I clean myself up a bit, and promise to resist humping any legs, he will bring me along on an evening.

Otherwise, I am Waffle House, in the tin shed at Walleye Retreat.

Best,
Ted
