The New York Times tries to get a handle on Waffle House.

It's a southern thing. If you haven't been to a Waffle House - you wouldn't understand.

I’ve been to a lot of Waffle Houses over the years. You come in at any time of day or night, you sit down, the waitress gives you coffee, and you can order a meal which tastes good. What’s so hard to understand?

The gun that shot up the “Gun Free” Waffle House here in Nashville was from Illinois. If anything, it’s a portrait of Northern Liberal Politics.

New York City — In the Noth, there sometimes seems no one more omnipresent than... people that just don’t get it.

My son and a buddy of his used to stop for breakfast on the way to where we deer hunted...

This one waitress was missing a couple of teeth and was not very attractive...

I slipped over and told her my son’s bud thought she was “HOT”...

I didn’t think he was gonna be able to get of there!!!LOL

” In 2011, four men who regularly ate together at a Waffle House in Georgia were arrested, accused of plotting attacks on government buildings. “

A rat bastard NYT smear on the South.

I think a few years ago New Yorkers stood on line for hours waiting for something called a “cronut”.

Waffle House is open in the middle of the night.

That’s when all the bad things happen.

It’s not a surprise that some of them would happen at Waffle House.

Here’s a clean old fraternity story with the same general theme. Where I went to college about 50 years ago we had annual Moms’ days when our mothers would come down for a weekend to be wined, dined and entertained. Part of that entertainment would include a visit to at least one campus bar. The smart bar tenders quickly realized that one of the best ways to impress the moms favorably was to card them.
