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.

” 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.

The Waffle House is the more modern version of the old “rail car diner” that used to be in everytown, USA.

The food is good, and the coffee is NOT strong...I hate strong coffee, and I think Waffle House coffee is just fine.

So far this week some New York columnists, one at the “Times”, and the other at the “New Yorker” have decided to single out Southern based businesses with fake news, and slanderous comments.

They’ve attacked Chick-Fil-A only for the Cathy family’s Christian beliefs (even though the customer lines circle the block trying to get a chicken sandwich.) The Mayor - de Blasio (Big Bird) has even called for a boycott of the business...the first time in my entire life I have heard of a city mayor calling for boycott of a business in their town, serving the public and paying taxes.

Buy, anytime a conservative, or religious person or company does well, the left goes bananas...they can’t stand it that conservatism works. It’s on display with conservative run cities, while liberal run cities - like Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago, etc are almost broke, and severely crime-ridden.

California, New York, and New Jersey are hemorrhaging residents as fast as “U-Haul” can process the paperwork, and there are so many Yankees moving down here to the south that I’m starting to use phrases like, “youse guys”, “Yutes”, and “Pahk yeh cah in Havaad Yahd”. I’d try to tell them to “stay up yonder”, but they have no idea where “yonder” is.

Getting back to Waffle House...the only thing New Yorkers used to say about Waffle House, was to make fun of “grits”...but now that the transplanted thugs are causing disturbances in the Waffle Houses, they have turned their diatribe into full blown attacks on the South...and just when we thought the time of Yankee “carpetbaggers” was over and done.

The writer mentioned “drunks” at Waffle House...but people have always went there after a night of partying to drink coffee, and have “midnight breakfast”. I guess the New York Times would rather people just drive home drunk.

I used to play in bands, and after a gig we’d always hit the Waffle House to get some chow, and to just relax after four house of playing...it was always late at night, as when the clubs close, it usually takes the band up to an hour to pack up the gear and leave.

These writers act like someone has pulled a gun and is forcing them to dine at one of these places, or even have a Chicken sandwich; truth is, we don’t give a damn about you coming here, and had rather you didn’t. Us, and our “Waffle Houses” got along fine for years, without you.

But, everybody wants to be a journalists...the market is so crowded, that they’ll write about ANYTHING to get published.

I like the Waffle House...the food is good enough, the coffee is great, and the atmosphere is cordial. You can always find one, even in the dead of night. And Chick-Fil-A, they’re the top fast food place in the country now, so eat that, New Yorker.
