Old Salt Posts: 419 Location: Anchorage, Alaska | Subject: Mmmmmmmmmmmm, Waffles... I went to Google news and searched for Waffle House. No announcement of closings, mostly stories about WH employees being shot, but one story about the restoration plans for the nation's oldest Waffle House.  ATLANTA, May 3 (UPI) -- The DeKalb (Ga.) County Commission has made the nation's first Waffle House a historic property. The company plans to turn the location in Decatur, Ga., into a museum, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Sunday. The request was approved last week by county commissioners. Thenewspaper noted that the company is restoring the building to the stateit was in when it opened in 1955. Decatur, Georgia, my home town. As a teenager, we'd often make this our last stop before going home after a night out. | ||

Hope that's the case. I am a WAFFLE HOUSE guy....a waffle, small orange juice, black coffee that will float railroad locomotive parts, a large glass of ice cold milk, two sausage patties, hash browns, toast with Smuckers grape jelly seved by a Clairol, big busted blonde named Trixie, Betty or Dotty.....IHOP used to be the International House of Pancakes...They lost me when they started serving weird flavored syrup, pancakes with fruit, nuts,and leftover VW parts...name change didn't help...sausage still tasted like gound up possum. Kentucky Fried Chicken became KFC because they switched from chicken to pigeons. Ever notice how the drumsticks all come with little aluminum leg bands? No sir, I am a loyal, life long WAFFLE HOUSE devotee...Anyone remember TODDLE HOUSE...HUDDLE HOUSE...and LITTLE TAVERNS? DEX Slow day at work today so I looked up the Toddle House and learned that a regional manager of Toddle House, Joe Rogers, was the founder of Waffle House. The son of the original founder of Toddle House founded FedEx; his name was James Frederick Smith See what happens when you have too much time on your hands?

Great Sage of the Sea Posts: 602 Location: Visalia, Ca. | Subject: RE: WAFFLE HOUSE I remember two Waffle Houses in Charleston - one was next to a hotel on the way into the airport and Charleston Air Force Base off of Rivers Avenue. The other was at a Day's Inn, about half way between Dorchester Road and the traffic circle in North Charleston. Used to stop there regularly on the way home from a night trying to romance the barmaid/cook at the Flying Dutchman Country-side. Had all the things Dex described, 'cept the waitresses weren't all blondes, but they were as easy to look at as the food was good to eat. They were both still there when I went back to Charleston in 1990 for IMA Nuc Repair School. But I've never seen one west of Texas. Don't much care for IHOP, myself, either. Out here in Central California we have a chain called Country Waffles, and the food is a lot like the Waffle House, but they are only open for breakfast & lunch - 0600 to 1400 or something like that. After midnight you either go to Denny's, a truck stop diner, or a fast-food drive-through. Any home-sick Southerners want to partner up and open a Waffle House franchise out here?  | ||
