    I don’t understand why people shit on Waffle House.

    Where else can you go where someone will cook real eggs right in front of you, and cook them correctly?

    Fried over easy, perfect every time.

        Sort of. They’re just on the other side of a waist high divider. They aren’t cooking for show, but you can see what they’re doing.

        The dividing line I have found is if the diner does really good biscuits. If the biscuits are good, they’re generally better than Waffle House. But most diner type places near me are awful. They cater toward the 75+ crowd. Weak coffee and bland, nasty food. It’s either mush, or dry as hell.

    Eh? Whoever made this either went to a unique one or don’t know what they’re talking about.

    Waffle Houses are not spectacles. They’re as basic as they come. Basic seating. A gal who calls you “suga” and a mute cook who doesn’t give you eye contact. You might be able to see the grill if you’re sitting at the bar. But that’s like saying you can see the grill at your McDonald’s.

    People go there because you can get a cheap breakfast for like $3.18 cents.

    It’s not good. It’s not bad. It’s not anything.

    My favorite time was on the road with some friends (we’re all from up in them thar mountains, so it’s not like we were a bunch of New Yorkers) and 5/6 of us could not for the life of us understand our waitress, and we thought she might be speaking a foreign language, until one of our number, who was fluent in the Waffle House dialect of gibberish, translated for us.

      A winery near me does a raclette weekend for Valentine’s Day where you get a plate of raclette with a glass of wine.

        There’s a restaurant in NYC, or at least there was, where they serve you some basic meat and potatoes then scrape a pound of raclette on your plate. It was delicious. Name of the place? “Raclette”

      There’s a back counter where the food is prepared that you can see from basically the whole restaurant.
