Small and Inexpensive With the Best Waffles in Town

Through the years I’ve been to many restaurants.  Some of them beautiful with a certain ambiance about them.  In these restaurants the portion size can sometimes be small and the food mediocre.  Although I’m willing to try any new eatery once, only a few have stuck in my mind as having the best meals.

What sparked an idea for writing this article came from another article written by someone else.  Yesterday I was sitting in my living room thumbing through an Esquire magazine. This is one of the many magazines I have laying around because a phone soliciter talked me into ordering a bunch of them, for one low price of course, so I thought that this would increase my chances of winning Publishers Clearing House.  I realize that I’m off track.  Anyway, flipping through page after page of advertisements which showed hunky guys exquisitely modeling awesome clothes, I told my husband that they finally had a magazine for women.  I think that he retaliated with a smirk on that one.

O.K., I realize that I’m still rambling on and loosing the main topic of this article.  Anyway, I came across a piece on a restaurant that I thought offered some of the the best food that I had ever eaten. The name, Waffle House.  I don’t know why I was offended I don’t own the place and it’s been a while since I’ve eaten there.  I guess I just couldn’t understand why anyone wouldn’t like the food at Waffle House.  I do agree with the Esquire article that this restaurant does not have the best seating and it may not be as pretty as other restaurants, but unless my tastebuds have gone haywire, to me the waffles are the best that I’ve ever eaten.  For instance, the pecan waffle, my favorite.  You can watch the cook whip it up as your socializing with friends or family.  Another one is the Waffle House omelet,  they are fluffy, tasty, and they stuck in my mind so much that I’ve modeled my omelet making skills at home after theirs. 

I’m sure that it would be nice if Waffle House was a bit larger but like most restaurants with good, stick to your ribs food, but they don’t have to be.  The great food and the “hi ya’lls”, and “howdys”, are what keeps this place going.  The writer in the Esquire article seemed annoyed with all of this and I’ll admit that coming from the north it took me a while to get used to the Southern slang but the people that work at Waffle House are hard working people.  I used to tell my parents that I would love to be able to juggle so many food items at one time and turn up a perfect breakfast. Anyone who cooks can relate.

If you’ve been to Waffle House tell me what you think and in conclusion of my article I have to say that the only reason I haven’t been to Waffle House lately is because they are always so busy because they offer that great food.  I don’t think that they need me but I will certainly be anxious to dine there soon, “bye ya’ll”.
