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.
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.

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