I was ordering breakfast at a Waffle House in the deep south one time and the waitress asked me how I wanted my grits. Not if I wanted grits, how I wanted my grits. I asked her if I could have hash browns instead of grits and she looked at me like she couldn’t believe what she just heard.I still haven't. I feel like a southerner should invite you so you have someone there to be like "guys, he's cool y'all" if you have a northern manners faux pas.
As a Tennessee native, I’m guessing CJ has been to Waffle House a time or two.A lot of the offense including CJ Beathard was there too
I remember driving to Miami for the 2003 Orange Bowl and along the way we started calculating what we called the “MWHD” (Maximum Waffle House Density). It was amazing how clustered some of them were right off the highway.I’ve been in Florida once and I think the Waffle House per capita is too damn high. You shouldn’t be able to see another Waffle House as your leaving a waffle house
It’s a dirty 24-hour breakfast place with mediocre food. Go there drunk and order a double waffle.I still haven't. I feel like a southerner should invite you so you have someone there to be like "guys, he's cool y'all" if you have a northern manners faux pas.
Yeah, they look at you like you just asked if you could PIITB.I was ordering breakfast at a Waffle House in the deep south one time and the waitress asked me how I wanted my grits.

Shoney's was better.As a Tennessee native, I’m guessing CJ has been to Waffle House a time or two.

And, FTR, you can get them with butter, honey, berries, bacon, cheese, and a host of other things (including shrimp).I feel like a southerner should invite you so you have someone there to be like "guys, he's cool y'all" if you have a northern manners faux pas.
NTTAWWTYours Truly has never ever set foot in a WH in my entire life. It just seems like a place you’d go at 2AM when you’re sloshed.
Wait. Trevor Lawrence is married? Why dude?
Haha, don’t come to GA then. FL doesn’t come close.I’ve been in Florida once and I think the Waffle House per capita is too damn high. You shouldn’t be able to see another Waffle House as your leaving a waffle house
She’s not an ugly person.He looks happy to me. I think they've been dating since high school.
Mostly accurate, but I'd go with Texas cheese steak with hash browns covered and smothered...It’s a dirty 24-hour breakfast place with mediocre food. Go there drunk and order a double waffle.
Can confirm. Middle Tennessee has more than its share.As a Tennessee native, I’m guessing CJ has been to Waffle House a time or two.
I don't buy this for a second at a Waffle House. They are known more for their hash browns and everything you can add to them than even their waffles. That could've happened in another chain breakfast place but not Waffle House.I was ordering breakfast at a Waffle House in the deep south one time and the waitress asked me how I wanted my grits.

Folks usually put butter or maple syrup on grits. I learned that by going to Shoney's and Cracker Barrel back in the day. Plus, my Mom grew up in the south during the great depression and grits were a breakfast staple for her growing up. She never tasted hash brown potatoes until she came to Iowa to teach at Coe College in CR during WWII.I was ordering breakfast at a Waffle House in the deep south one time and the waitress asked me how I wanted my grits.

I believe the bold part is the appeal.Only been a couple times. Never got the appeal. It's mediocre eggs and waffles in a dirty restaurant.
This. I bet OP doesn't even know what "covered and smothered" means.I don't buy this for a second at a Waffle House. They are known more for their hash browns and everything you can add to them than even their waffles. That could've happened in another chain breakfast place but not Waffle House.
I’m very familiar with all the permutations of scattered, covered, smothered, chunked, etc. I just happened to run into a waitress who assumed grits was automatic.This. I bet OP doesn't even know what "covered and smothered" means.

This I can believe.Maybe it wasn’t a Waffle House, but it was definitely a Waffle House-type breakfast diner. Maybe Huddle House or something.

Yep. They were a client of mine early in my career. When you meet with them, their employees wear name badges just like the restaurant workers and they give you a paper hat upon arrival. The corp HQ also smells like one of their restaurants, it’s like out of the twilight zone.And it shouldn't. Waffle House corporate HQ are located in Georgia.
