We have a story from one, I think it was in Pennsylvania (do they have them there?), and the waitress's accent was such that when she asked us "taste or biscuits?" we just could not understand, and we asked her to repeat and repeat. Finally we realized she was saying "toast or biscuits?" but in PA it sounds like "taste."Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-26306374645691178522012-02-17T04:04:49.370-05:002012-02-17T04:04:49.370-05:00Thank you for this comprehensive information about...Thank you for this comprehensive information about Waffle House. I like waffles and I can’t resist stopping by to buy some when I walk in Kobe, or Osaka, as the sweet fragrance fills the air around. McDonald, Starbucks, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Pizza Huts are popular in Japan, but I’m not sure if there is Waffle House in Japan. When I find one, I’d like to enter remembering this post.<br /><br />Yokostardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-85256364800907206612012-02-16T19:12:38.320-05:002012-02-16T19:12:38.320-05:00Waffles are so tasty and the last photo of spring ...Waffles are so tasty and the last photo of spring is simply delightful!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06179486046864119527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-86616577294801993892012-02-16T15:51:06.002-05:002012-02-16T15:51:06.002-05:00Dear Vagabond,

HA! And my kids' and g'son's, too! We took Nicholas to WH every time he spent the night with us. He learned his numbers and letters at the jukebox. Now when we stay at the rental cabin in the No. GA mtns. we always stop at WH on our way home for breakfast. That means it's now part of Astrid's psyche, too. :) <br /><br />One of the things I most love about this chain is that they don't make their restaurants any bigger. They just build another one nearby.
