Some things you may not know about Waffle House:

1.Waffle House can serve 381 strips of bacon per minute.
2. Waffle House has a better disaster response plan than FEMA.
3. Because of 1, Waffle house has been the first business to reopen after every coastal hurricane I've experienced since 1982. (After Katrina, Waffle House in Bay St. Louis, MS (after being wiped the hell out) had a location totally rebuilt and rolling before any other business in town, by several months.)
4. After said disasters, I've had friends and neighbors who lost everything in the storm, tell me stories about the kindness they encountered from Waffle House managers. Many were given free meals until they could get back on their feet.
5. THEY PUT CHILI ON HASHBROWNS! THAT'S LIKE THE FARKING HAND OF GOD ROLLING AROUND IN YOUR GULLET. AND THE HAND OF GOD TASTES FARKING AMAZING!
6.In Bishopsville, SC the local Waffle House supports a local topiary artist by giving him free meals in exchange for his incredible topiary work.
7. A fluke in the space-time-continuum exists within Waffle House locations, where-in waitresses from across the southeast can appear to be working in multiple Waffle Houses at any one time.
8. Waffle House has more patience for drunks than your local bartenders.
9. The Federal Government bases part of it's disaster severity index based on Waffle House's - Red= Closed, Yellow = Partial Menu / Partial Power, Green= Full Menu/Lights On
10. That Yellow light is a beacon of the ultimate grace in humanity at 3am and you're nodding off at the wheel.

That's one thing I miss about South Carolina...  easy access to Waffle House.

I've got to drive 8 hours (or fly 1) if I want WH now.
