Not only do I need to eat, they are a good indicator of how many locals are staying. If they are closed, the locals are all getting out. They know someone I dont, an I need to rethink staging in that town. You cant ask locals directly, they like messing with anyone that asks. Seems to be a national pass time for them. The Hotel wants us to stay, local EMAs want everyone out. So the only good indicator of local opinion ends up being Waffle House an Hooters open signs.

    A fun fact: Waffle house has its own meteorologists. Their main focus is to keep an eye on the severity of certain storms, including hurricanes. This is to tell which establishments need to be shut down or open on special terms. The general public can determine the severity of incoming storms by the informal, waffle house index.
    Ps. If a waffle house closes down in your town, then the storm on the way is going to be bad.

    Not just in the south but the most locations are in the south. Infact the government agency FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) who is responsible for helping after natural disasters such as tornadoes or hurricanes use the Waffle House index to determine how bad damage is. Because Waffle House is open 25/7 365 days a year, as well as being equipped with generators or propane to continue to operate if there's a power outage, you'll rarely ever see one closed unless it's permanent. They are the last places to close and the first to reopen after a catastrophe. So if you see a Waffle House that's normally open, closed, something awful is about to happen or already has happened. Run for the hills

    Grits are like polenta just not as smooth. Grits are made from white corn ground only once so they feel rough or gritty. Polenta is grind white or yellow corn ground 3 or 4 times to make it more uniform and soft. The whole difference is in the texture.
    Yes, these foods are comfort foods but they also help with hangovers. The fats and grease send the liver into overdrive to digest them. This also helps the liver to synthesize the alcohol in your blood. We always have at least a hamburger before going out then hit an all-night restaurant after closing time.

    1st Waffle House visit (& 2nd & 3rd) were ALL during a visit to South Carolina, very close to Charleston.
    OH, MY.
    Also, my 1st time trying grits. Cheese grits. Will never forget the joy.
    Our eldest son was in a very tough school for the US Navy, this was in 2006.
    Our hotel was next to a WH!!!
    Kind of didn't want to eat anywhere else.
    We had a super shy young waitress. Youngest son ordered a big breakfast, finished it, & ordered a 2nd one. The sweet young lady looked at me, for permission. I just smiled & said, "He's a teenaged boy, the food will be gone."
    Many visits to WH around Dallas, TX, after landing at the airport & before the 2 hour drive to visit husband's family in East Texas. I have a picture of me & my husband in WF hats -- the paper ones the staff sometimes wear -- with our arms around our server. ❤❤❤
    Great coffee, too!!

    There is very rarely a moment when there is too much syrup. Most of the time, it's never enough. I don't understand Europeans that just drizzle a little bit of syrup on their pancakes or waffles. That's like dropping a 100 lb bomb on a huge factory and believing you're gonna destroy it. You need to drench your waffles or pancakes in syrup, because that stuff soaks in pretty fast, and you need some free syrup to actually eat it.

    Grits are a type of cornmeal made from dent corn, a less sweet variety of corn than the kind you might eat on the cob. The corn is dried and then ground, either coarsely to make traditional grits or finely to make instant grits. They can be a bit of an acquired taste for some. I don't care for them.
    Dent corn, also known as field corn or grain corn, is a variety of maize (Zea mays) that is primarily grown for animal feed, industrial uses, and food processing. It gets its name from the small dent or depression that forms on the kernel's crown as it dries.
    Sweet corn is harvested when the kernels are still tender and eaten as a vegetable, dent corn is allowed to mature on the stalk until the kernels are hard and dry. This makes it easier to store and process into various products like cornmeal, grits, flour, ethanol, and even plastics.

    You have to fill every square on the waffle. I don't go to a lot of greasy spoons(slang 24hr restaurants, ie Waffle House) these days, but went a lot after watching bands plays when I was in my 20's.

    It probably isn't pure maple syrup, but at a Waffle House, it would be really good syrup. They probably have blueberry and raspberry too. Pork sausage dipped in maple syrup is good.

    Whenever you travel through the South, you're going to see Waffle House next to the freeway. You know, wherever you are, what you're going to get, that it'll be cheap and filling. And always open, except during hurricanes. When Waffle House is closed, stay home, it's bad. When it reopens, the storm has passed. 😊

    From Alabama. Waffle House is pretty fantastic. I don't actually care too much for sweet foods. However, when it comes to waffles, I would say that they were about half way there with the syrup. It probably could have used about another 4 tablespoons of butter as well.

    Ever since I was a little girl growing up in the south, I have loved grits, cooked thick like mashed potatoes, not runny like a soup, covered in butter with salt and black pepper. Grits is ground corn so it fills the spot when you crave carbs like mashed potatoes or popcorn (without those pesky kernels getting stuck in your teeth). I only eat them from time-to-time as we usually just eat potatoes as a side dish. But once in awhile a change of flavor with the corn is a delight.

    • @Reenie581

We would dip our sausages in the syrup. In the public schools the children would have a pancake wrapped around a sausage on a stick for breakfast shaped like a corn dog. The children would smell like syrup until lunchtime which I could vouch for being a retired Art teacher.

    This drunk Georgia boy introducing them to the standard that is Waffle House is giving me LIFE lol. I’m from Savannah but my family is from Florida and Alabama, and Waffle House is the most ideal, classic American diner food. The best hangover food. Open all the time…if the Waffle House is closing, you know it’s a big deal and you should probably evacuate the area. One thing they don’t do very well, though, is grits (there, I said it!).
    Grits are just a porridge, just like Cream of Wheat or oatmeal, it’s just a porridge made from ground corn or hominy, which is like corn. Culturally we don’t add sugar to grits like you do with Cream of Wheat or oatmeal, but you could if you wanted to. We would just side-eye you. It’s a savory hot cereal just like any other hot cereal. Polenta is just coarse-ground yellow grits. That’s exactly what it is.

    Grits is short for hominy grits. Its ground up hominy. Hominy is corn that has been cooked in lye or other strong Alkaline to break it down to be human digestible. They expand in to popcorn like balls in the process. Its then dried in to crunchy balls. Grits is a filler food. its like rice. You eat it to get full, but the flavor comes from what you top it with. Brown sugar is my first choice, but butter is common. Shrimp an grits is also common in beach towns. Not many people like grits alone. But it was a staple food in a world were understandable corn was the main grain crop.

    @3:45 thats the same type of gravy, yes. no biscuits on that plate tho. So... a Waffle House is a subset of the classic American 'Diner' you may know from movies, etc. called a short-order restaurant. These are places mostly very close to highways and freeways who have a menu limited to stuff you can prepare very quickly and eat quickly to get back on the road. They were a pre-cursor to the modern fast-food joints that came. The short-order part came from the wait-staff giving the order to the cook by calling outloud the order in a type of short-hand language. The different diners often had different words for things. When you're in a Waffle House, you will hear them shouting orders in this lingo.

However, the fact of the matter is anyone that can cook halfway decently can make great B&G. It's not rocket science. Especially if you go through hundreds of Southern cookbooks & RUclips videos. For the most part the gravy is the same 4-5 ingredients. And, it takes less than 30 minutes. lol. I do love that stuff though. May have originated in the South but I have had great B&G in all my travels since it's a go-to breakfast.
      I'm not impressed with Waffle House. I've had much better breakfasts at other restaurants/diners. However, I do see the appeal for people to eat at places like this after the bars close that look exactly like Noah did. S-faced. Not much different than Denney's and many diners across the country. Seen a lot of places on Diners Drive-Ins & Dives that I would love to visit. The ingredients, quality of dishes prepared look amazing.
