"It is indeed marvelous-- an irony-free zone where everything is beautiful and nothing hurts; where everybody regardless of race, creed, color or degree of inebriation is welcomed." - Anthony Bourdain
The episode of Parts Unknown when chefs Anthony Bourdain and his buddy Sean Brock visit a Waffle House is the greatest commercial of all time. How many people (including myself) were moved to visit a Waffle House after that? Millions perhaps?
This one I visited in Rosenberg, TX is by far the best Waffle House I've ever been to. That's not saying much. Most of them are dangerous, frequented by all kinds of villainous folk.
This Waffle House is clean. The staff is friendly. The patrons are normal people. And, the food is absolutely delicious.
I start with the incredible breakfast sandwich with buttered and toasted Texas toast, two eggs over easy with a melted slice of American cheese, and two strips of bacon (to which I add a little tobasco). It is the perfect breakfast food. Side of delicious sausages and hash browns. Everyone cooked to perfection. Orange juice and coffee. Is there anything more American? Of course, what trip to Waffle House would be complete without their specialty - the waffle?
The waffle has its own plate. Once the butter has melted, now you can add the maple syrup. Never before. I'm in my happy place. Their waffle is a gift from Heaven. So good. I'm so grateful. And, now I'm so full.
Thank you Waffle House. I love you.
