My SO and I have eaten at many a Waffle House over the years. They're
so conveniently located right off the Interstate highways. It's not
gourmet food but it's definitely tasty and hits the spot. I like
watching the short-order cooks prepare everything right in front of you.

I recall on one visit (I forget which state we were in) I heard someone
order an egg white omelet. The cook didn't blink, just deftly separated
a couple of eggs and used the whites. The yolks went into a bowl,
presumeably to be used in the next few orders of scrambled eggs.

In some other state, they actually had an employee acting as a greeter,
opening the door for patrons and welcoming them, which was kind of odd
considering it's Waffle House.

I love those crispy shredded hash browns and the bacon is cooked to
order; I like mine crisp.
