establishing a WAFFLE HOUSE home

chip and i have established our waffle house home. this takes time. we tried two locations and have settled on the one. this process is somewhat similar to finding a church home (which i think GOD is making clearer to us and closer to our home... PTL).


you see all WAFFLE HOUSES are created equal in structure and equipment and the staff does their procedures exactly the same. even the "hi welcome to waffle house" ... i will even let you in on one of their secrets... the calling square or tile behind the counter... it is where they waitress goes to call out your order to the cook... but they must be standing on the tile to call it out. look for it ... it is always there. so needless to say they structure and process/procedure are there... but making a WAFFLE HOUSE a home comes down to interactions with the staff as well as your fellow eaters. these two are equally weighted in the decision process.

so this week we dinned in twice and last night we declared that location as our waffle house home. this occurred based on two elements 1 our favorite waitress was not there and we were worried (especially considering her health last time) 2 the other waitress welcomed us and knew our order... this commanded with the smell of waffles and bacon... mmmm and so it is.
