Waffle House (again)
When Cris and I drove to South Carolina this year we left home late in the day and drove through the night as we usually do. We always joke about the IHOP-Waffle House line and how it mostly mirrors the Mason-Dixon line. The Waffle House breakfasts can be a bit on the greasy side, but there isn’t much choice on I-95. We were amazed to find an IHOP near Florence, SC so we stopped and ate at around 6.oo am. We got back on the road and a bit later we stopped for gas. We laughed because it was the same exit where we ate at a Waffle House last year. The sun had just broken through the clouds and the building looked great in the morning light.
We Waffle Housed for the first time ever this xmas, in Knoxville. We thought it was pretty fun. Less “slick” than IHOP.
I love seeing the Waffle House in your photo. I have so enjoyed all your wonderful photos and stories.
Joni, thanks so much.
I love Waffle House and the closest one to me is in Pennslyvania. I always get the pecan waffle and bacon and that’s my favorite breakfast now, anywhere I go. A couple of years ago, on Gordon Ramsey’s Hell’s Kitchen on TV, one of the contestants had been a cook at Waffle House. She was great and even though she didn’t win, Gordon gave her free tuition at a chef school and promised her a job at one of his restaurants. I said, GO, WAFFLE HOUSE!
I work in Florence, and live nearby in Darlington. Cool to see this pic on here – what exit was it at (if you remember)?
There is a Waffle House across the street from the IHOP also 🙂
Jayson. Don’t remember the exit. It was really early in the morning.
Waffle House is making its way up north! I have not seen an actual building but I have seen the sign for it off I-81S in Scranton, PA.
Sarah, more blurring of the IHOP-Waffle House line. Next time through Scranton, I’ll check it out. Thanks, Jon
