Before I made it to the southeast, I had friends telling me that I would miss out on the whole experience if I didn’t go eat at a Waffle House. Since I’m on the Nutrisystem diet, I had pretty much decided against taking their advice, since hash browns, pancakes and sausage tend to destroy any real diet. Our rep in Atlanta, Pete Gebhardt, decided to make it his personal mission however to break me. His incessant pleadings for me to eat something other than Nutrisystem, combined with encouragement from home, were enough for me to break down and try their famous hash browns. I had mine “Scattered, Smothered & Covered”, which means that they added onions and a slice of cheese. They were good, especially with some steak sauce added, but I’ll be saving my scant calories for other delicacies for now.
Our waitress, Autumn, was kind enough to let me get behind the counter and take a picture with her. There is certainly a lot of truth behind old Southern-style hospitality. I’m excited to make it down to southern Georgia on Thursday and Friday, where Pete assures me that I will be treated to some serious language training.
We'd love to hear your comments, so post them here.
