The Great American Diner!

On your right is a photo of the original Waffle House, located at 2719 East College Avenue in Decatur, which opened Labor Day 1955! What a Labor Day!

Now it is 2009 and at least twice a week it is 7:30am, I am sitting at the counter watching the grill operator do his/her thing, talking with regulars while at the same time meeting new people stopping by on their way to work, waiting for my favorite Waffle House breakfast; two poached eggs, wheat toast, hashbrowns in a "ring", bacon and unsweet tea! (hey, I am middled age; you youngsters tell me about all the scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, diced, etc. food you eat so I can wish for the younger days when I had lower cholesterol).

Waffle House is my time to gather thoughts, plan my day and hopefully encourage someone at the counter! Please share your favorite items and experiences at what I feel is still the Great American Diner!
