Scattered, Smothered, and Covered

Just a quick post about one of my favorite places to eat breakfast in the whole wide world: Waffle House. At the big WH, you can have hashbrowns any way you like them. Personally, I like mine "scattered, smothered, and covered." Thing is, the restaurant is something of a sacred icon to me. My parents used to take us there when we were little kids--on our revered trip to Florida. It wasn't just the food. It was a family tradition...one that I've adopted with my wife and kids on our trip to Myrtle Beach every summer. WH is also a place that, somehow or another, I've ended up sharing a meal with all of my best friends. Christopher Hopper and I found one here in Scranton. Life is good.

  1. I can honestly say that I have never heard of having chili on Hash browns. Or onions. Or jalapeƱos. etc. etc. :D

  2. Somewhere, I read an article explaining why the author thought this statement was true. "If Jesus worked at a restaurant, He would work at Waffle House." it's open all night, and everyone eats, there, and it's a friendly place. I think those were the main reasons. But it was a long time ago.

  5. I work at a cafe in my town in WI and we have a dish that has hashbrowns with chicken tenders on top and sausage grave on top of everything with eggs and toast on the side.
