This will be the first restaurant I sit down inside of following my coronavirus restaurant hiatus. You have not lived until you’ve sat at the counter of a Waffle House at one in the morning and taken in the whole experience.
In the spring of 2017… I somehow found myself at the Waffle House on Memorial and Western at one in the morning after the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight.
I was the only non-black person in the building as the place was packed with people just like me who had watched the fight. I was lucky enough to get to sit right at the counter as two white cooks started talking a little bit about the fight.
Calm was restored and the food orders were finally cooked, but it was epic.
That’s the whole thing about the Waffle House beyond the food…it’s about taking in the human experience.
You haven’t lived until you’ve done the five course breakfast starting off with a pecan waffle.
Trust me.
