    Because each letter is a separate sign, they only have to replace four letters instead of the whole sign. Genius.

    Fun and irrelevant Waffle House fact: Waffle House has only been allowed to be called that in Indiana relatively recently because there was already a diner chain in Indiana called Waffle House when the famous one started. They had to call themselves Waffle Steak.

    The other Waffle House went out of business and now all is right with the universe.

    (We used to go to the other Waffle House when I was in high school and play Risk at 2 am because we were wild party animals.)

      The trick is learning not to hate what you live, but to live what you hate.

    I thought the “waffle house index” was more of a post-hurricane measurement of how quickly basic necessities (water, electricity, etc) and supply chains were recovering.
