PFFT. Where is it? New Hampster?

[spatch]

Wappingers Falls, New York! OH WOE

I didn't think New Hampshire had 193 miles of anything!

[eeka13.livejournal.com]

Truuuuuuuue, I don't think you can drive 193 miles and not be in Canada. But maybe there are places like off in the mountains that aren't a stright shot where you could go 193 miles into New Hampster.

Ah ha! Mapquest says Nashua to Idlewilde (juuuust near the northern tip of nudehamster) is 200 miles!

There IS 200 miles of something in New Hampshire! Hooray!

Everyone rips on Iowa, but they have plenty of Perkins. Stupid East Coast.

state college [where penn state is] had a perkins. but Eat 'n' Park was way better.

GO NITTANY LIONS

The Perkins I like the most in Pennsylvania is in, uh. Bloomsburg. It's like just off of I-80. And when you've been driving all night to get to Knoebels Amusement Park and you get off I-80 around 7 AM or so, lordy them eggs bennies is the tastiest thing in the world.

eat n park

the eat n park in new cumberland was great.

when you've been partying in washington all nite and don't have enough energy to make it all the way back home, they would let you sleep in their parking lot as long as you bought a class of lemonade.

Are you people seriously able to say eat n park with a straight face?

Re: eat n park

[spatch]

Eat & Park? Pfft. What about the Kum N Go, or the Pump & Munch? I love the Midwest!

Re: eat n park

[eeka13.livejournal.com]

I had pictures of both on my bulletin board in college.

my favourite: El Cheapo gas stations. But those were in Georgia.

Pump & Munch

*snork*

I have no idea why I find Pump & Munch funnier than Kum N Go, but I do....

bah.

[lindito.livejournal.com]

the perkins in shamokin dam was far better than the one in bloom.

we used to go to the one in lewisburg to taunt the fucksmell, erm bucknell, students.

the closest perkins to me is something like eight thousand miles away.

YOU LOSE. FATALITY.

Re: bah.

[spatch]

I never had to go as far as Shamokin, though I did tend to hit the Perkins in Danville on the Sunday after each Phall Phun Phest, but of course I'd always hit the place right after the after-church crowds showed up.

what is perkins?

[spatch]

A step up from Denny's when it comes to chain restaurants, really. Best enjoyed late-night or during the Brunching hour, and most of 'em have bakeries on the premises so you can get muffins the size of your head or french silk pie if you so desire. It's what Bickfords should have been if Bickfords had made the right decision and not gone "generic grill" and all.

[tully-monster.livejournal.com]

No French silk pie for you, bud.

We have a Perkins in Urbana, IL...

Gnash! Wail! O!

Grootings von Iowa

I'm but mere minutes from the Coralville Perkins. TASTE MY DELICIOUS WRATH.

Or something.

I'M WISHING CANCER ON YOU AS WE SPEAK!

[fmi-agent.livejournal.com]

i've always liked perkins, myself.

fyi, there's a perkins LJ community that sadly gets not enough traffic.

And here in Memphis,

[fancycwabs.livejournal.com]

The nearest Perkins is right next door to the nearest IHOP, and three or four buildings away from the nearest Shoney's. Pancake Alley, we'd call it if we didn't already call it something else.

PERKINS DOT JAYPEG

[hemlock-martini.livejournal.com]

Is 193 miles enough?

Re: PERKINS DOT JAYPEG

[spatch]

THIS IS HOW I FEEL WHEN I REALIZE THERE'S 193 MILES BETWEEN ME AND THE NEAREST PERKINS BAKERY & RESTAURANT!!

[dcart.livejournal.com]

That's one thing that living in the sprawl has going for it. I've got a perkins three exits north on I-4, about 10 miles away. We ate a late morning breakfast there three weeks ago.

Perkins is a big limp weak sissy lame restaurant compared to the wonder that is the Waffle House.

[bedfull-o-books.livejournal.com]

Oooooh.

Waffle House.

Sadly, the closest one to me is in Deleware, 6 states away.

[somesuch.livejournal.com]

There's one in Lancaster, PA. Only 375 miles!

[eeka13.livejournal.com]

OMG this friend of mine who's from Louisiana always talks about how her mom has worked at the Waffle House for 35 years or something, and as kids they always called it the Awful House.

[spatch]

The Waffle House is Perkins for people with no teeth.






Ok, maybe it's not all that bad. But you gotta be in a way different mindset to want to go to a Waffle House than the mindset you need for Perkins. I think it may involve Hank Williams, Jr but it's been so long I can't be certain.

Perkins has never made me slam the brakes on a rental car driving on an interstate in Jackson, Tennessee and scream, 'KEVIN, THERE'S THE WAFFLE HOUSE!'

I never had such a good time at a Perkins I left a fifteen dollar tip on a thirteen dollar check.

And for good reason. Kevin would've been extremely confused.
