Wow thanks for such a great read! Throughout college I was that midnight Waffle House guest and I was always glad to have a warm waffle, hashbrowns, and a smile after writing papers all night. It is true 9pm and 2am are the same regardless of time.
Waffle House… It’s a fantastic place after finishing the second shift at Honda in Marysville. The coffee is always solidly good, and you can get a pretty decent T-Bone with your grits and eggs if you ask. Pretty blissful at 2:00AM…
It was Coffee Kettle when I was young & rambunctious. No WH in the nearby town where my brother & I and friends went to shoot pool & drink. Coffee Kettle...The Bowl of Chili & a cheeseburger was delicious on a belly of beer. Lovely read.
"The glow of its sign is a symbol of salvation, a yellow ember of life amidst the sun-less dark, erect like a crucifix along the American highway. The energy at the restaurant at this time teems like crickets on a Southern summer night. You are reminded just how alive things are out there during the stillness of when you are typically asleep. A rebel yell so many have learned to tune out."
America will reinvigorated by pieces like this. We have a culture all our own and it is Heaven. Well done my friend.
Brilliant article. I've always loved the Waffle House and now I know why. Thank you.

Well said.
This is truly beautiful. I've always been strangely drawn to waffle house, and I think you put that feeling into words.
