Then, there is IHOP. I ate there tonight for the first time. Don't believe the hype. It's Denny's for pancake freaks. Actually, pancake Freaks. Upper case.
Case in point:
The undisputed champion of 24-hour breakfasts is Waffle House. It's not everywhere in the United States -- you won't find it in New England, most of Illinois, or the Midwest -- but Waffle House owns the American south's Interstate corridor.Think Elgin Street Diner, but at every offramp you can find. Also, while Denny's and IHOP are all colourful with their logos, Waffle House is simple.
This one is in Birmingham, Alabama. I've only eaten at the Nashville location (er, one of the Nashville locations. There are several interchanges in the area).

I think this is my favourite entry.
Did you actually eat that pile of pancakes? My arteries were screaming in anticipated pain!! It's time for a good ole AAA steak. Hope the bus goes through San Antonio en route to Houston/New Orleans. The ghosts of John Wayne and Richard Widmark await you at the fabled mission.
OK, so now you want to see the TV series "Dead Like Me", where the HQ for the reapers is...yep.. a waffle house, although come to think of it, nobody was ever seen eating waffles. Hmmmmm.
Great pancake shot, Nick.
Where is pancakes house?
What?
We stop at pancakes house.
What are you, nuts? We had pancakes for breakfast. Gotta go to a place I can get a shot and a beer, steak, maybe, not more fuckin' pancakes, come on.
Hahaha!
10 times the people, ten times the appetite, ten times the gluttony, ten times the number of lard asses that waddle to these joints....speaking of lard, "Oh waitress, the side of beans I ordered doesn't have the customary wad of pork fat I was expecting. What's up with that?" I'm getting hungry, thanks Nick ! :)
