One of my favorite restaurants in the whole world is Waffle House, and I’m not even joking. Everything you order is flat-out delicious and it’s cooked right in front of you. From what I can tell, it’s all made from scratch and they’re not using a bunch of frozen stuff. Also, they do continuous cleaning so you know that what you see is what you get. In other words, there aren’t usually any cockroaches crawling around the back. One of the coolest things about Waffle House is that they have this special language they use for ordering their food. Hardly anyone can understand what they’re talking about except the people who work there. It’s just a really fun culture and some of my best late-night memories have been made at Waffle Houses around the country. The joke below reminds me of that. Enjoy!
A trucker came into a truck stop cafe and placed his order. He said, “I want three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards.
The brand new blonde waitress, not wanting to appear stupid, went to the kitchen and said to the cook, “This guy out there just ordered three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards. What does he think this place is…an auto parts store?”
“No,” the cook said.
“Three flat tires means three pancakes, a pair of headlights is two eggs sunny side up and running boards are 2 slices crisp bacon.”
“Oh, OK!” said the blonde. She thought about it for a moment and then spooned up a bowl of beans and gave it to the customer.
The trucker asked, “What are the beans for, Blondie?”
She replied, “I thought while you were waiting for the flat tires, headlights and running boards, you might want to gas up!”
