Apparently this guy works at the Chamblee/Tucker Waffle House. That's pretty close to my house. If there's ever an Atlanta POE gathering, I think I know where we're dining. (Either here, or Gladys Knight's Chicken and Waffles. duh.)

i used to go to that wafflehouse all the time. weird. although the last time i was there some old lady passed out on her feet and went face down on the floor, she came to a minute later screaming at the people tryin to help her up to leave her alone. after that, whenever times were bad i would often tell myself, at least i'm not facedown at the wafflehouse.

I had the unfortunate fate to work at one in high school, and with a guy that also had the songs memorized, loved them and sang them often.
Any place I found myself in after that job was always far better than being behind that counter wearing that paper hat.

There should be a POE STL gathering. This guy has a really cool voice.

Well I've never been to a Waffle House, but I can say at least that I love waffles.

I perfer Huddle House, but the Waffle house gets kudos for being a better marker (with IHOP mostly to the north) of the mason dixon line.
|
Hooper_X - 2009-02-22 There are plenty of IHOPs in the south, at least in my experience. They're certainly well established in the Atlanta area, to a point that say, Denny's isn't.

Thats why I said mostly. I know of a good many IHOPS in Florida.
Its interesting that the Onion "article" I saw saying this "Mason Dixon Line changed to IHOP/Waffle House line" was actually based on a good bit of fact. Where are the Yankee Waffle Houses? Show me and you win good sir.

Hooper_X - 2009-02-22 Just looking at their website, there are quite a few in PA. Nothing north of there, and nothing east of there, but there are some in Northern PA up around Scranton. There are also quite a few around Toledo, OH, but that's more midwest than "yankee."
They're also as far west as Colorado Springs and Phoenix, so there's that. But yeah, they're primarily a southern thing, and I readily admit it.

A buddy of mine told me last week about how his brother, drunk and out pretty late, went into the waffle house here, inserted a dozen or so quarters, and selected "the waffle house song" over and over. Workers got pissed and made him leave w/o serving him. He should have done that AFTER he got his food

Hooper_X - 2009-02-23 He is not the first.
He will not be the last.

No matter how bad things get, choose death before working in the service industry.
