I'll be sitting around and all of a sudden I have an immense hankering for a Waffle House waffle, covered in butter and syrup, and perhaps a side of grits, bacon and sausage.

Shit, I think I just gave myself a craving right now.

Seriously, stopping by Waffle Houses on family road trips (they've got one at nearly every interstate exit in the South) is an all time favorite memory of mine.

And their waffles are so, so good.

In the catagory of "good" Southern culture and heritage, Waffle House has to be near the top. Tommy_Carcetti Sep 2017 #22

"Southern Culture" is a bad thing to many people here. oneshooter Sep 2017 #35
