Meet Freddy. He's just a dude from Deutschland who loves soccer (or
football, if you're European), and last week he let every one of his
followers know he would be embarking on a grand journey to the land of
the free.

Freddy's road trip started with a keen observation about our
priorities in America, particularly in Atlanta.

Very rich coming from a German - we all know you guys are into
some crazy stuff over there - but I digress.

Anyone who has ever been to Atlanta or just the South in general
knows there is one culinary establishment you MUST stop at
while visiting, that being Waffle House.

If you've ever eaten at one of these places, you know it's
worth the hype, both for the food and the clientele that
frequent the place, and luckily for Freddy, he got to see
one of the finest breakfast stops in its natural habitat

. . .

Used to eat at these places fairly often, before I got
old enough where I couldn't tolerate the calorie count
anymore. YUM ! Ideal when you're On The Road.

And the people you find IN there ... sometimes just
precious. Esp after dark, it's an eclectic selection
that can be like a southern version of some Euro
art film about a gathering of eccentrics.

Long live the Waffle House.

Oh, huge disasters, if the WH closes - RUN !!! When
it's open again that means civilization has returned.
This has been a long-time, kinda famous, indicator
about the state of things.
