Founded in 1955, the first Waffle House was just a tiny rectangular box; it has since grown to a chain of 2,000 restaurants, mostly in the South, that serve up grits, hash browns, and of course waffles, all day and all night. Luke Burbank talks with the customers who come at all hours to sample the Waffle House's menu that Atlanta Magazine food critic Mara Shaloup calls "meats and starch and sugar and butter and grease and everything that's comforting and wonderful."

I worked as a network news cameraman covering Hurricane Hugo (for another network). Looking for stories in the storm's aftermath my correspondent and I came upon a Waffle House where its sign was blown over and it crashed through one end of the building. Part of the side of the building was missing and it's power was out, BUT IT WAS OPEN! The manager was making scrambled eggs using its gas-powered cooktop! We were so grateful because it was next to impossible to find something to eat in the storm's aftermath and we were desperate. Thank you Waffle House and thank you nameless manager for being such a trooper.

I love, love, loooove Waffle House--but I'm shocked that Julia Williams never took up Chef Ramsay's offer of free culinary school so she could move on up. She was definitely a fan-favorite as the underdog in Hell's Kitchen (Season 3), so it's a little disappointing. Oh, well; I don't know her life, and I don't know what influences her decisions. I just hope she's happy and doing well!

@oriana_fortunato 3 года назад

I think we shouldn't judge her. We don't know her life, her struggles and what life threw at her. Also she's still in charge of a kitchen, making food (that I guess is high quality) and making people happy. AND we shouldn't forget that Heather, another Hell's Kitchen contestant, worked at the LV restaurant for a year and then left. You know, people's dreams change, they take new roads.

I’m a huge fan of Waffle House breakfasts, and it annoys me greatly that we don’t have any in Evansville, IN. The nearest one is almost a two hour drive. So I rarely get to indulge in my favorite morning feast, a western omelet plate with scattered, smothered, covered, chopped, and diced, and coffee...oh, that coffee! No one has better coffee! Although, that other southern classic, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, comes close.

I had some really sweet customers who stayed with me until someone else could get there. Also at the time, the only phone in the restaurant accessible to employees didn't dial out. I had to go out to the pay phone to call someone and leave all the customers alone in the store. Crazy night.

Their food is good, and competition being Huddle House, Denny's, and IHOP. I don't see too many Shoney's restaurants around. The Waffle House Museum is located near Avondale Estates. In Georgia, I've even seen a Waffle House store with a drive-thru near Stone Mountain, and 2 Waffle House stores next door to each other near Chamblee.
