Or, hibachi is just bougie Waffle House.

Electric bougie waffle house ..... many of them are also gas bougie waffle house

[-] pachrist@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

I don't understand why people shit on Waffle House.

Where else can you go where someone will cook real eggs right in front of you, and cook them correctly?

Fried over easy, perfect every time.

[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

I've never been to one as there are none near me. They cook in front of you hibachi style?

[-] pachrist@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Sort of. They're just on the other side of a waist high divider. They aren't cooking for show, but you can see what they're doing.

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Depends on where you sit. They have booths and like a bar seating area. The griddle is behind the counter of the latter. Only been to a couple myself as there also aren't any near me, but if you're ever shit-housed at 2 am and you're South of the Mason Dixon line, give it a go. I was thoroughly disappointed with the last one I attempted to go to though. Apparently some locations since Covid are takeout only after midnight. That was literally the only time I've ever gone. It's not the same taking it to go.

I've been to many diners that do that consistently better than Waffle House.

[-] pachrist@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The dividing line I have found is if the diner does really good biscuits. If the biscuits are good, they're generally better than Waffle House. But most diner type places near me are awful. They cater toward the 75+ crowd. Weak coffee and bland, nasty food. It's either mush, or dry as hell.

My favorite time was on the road with some friends (we're all from up in them thar mountains, so it's not like we were a bunch of New Yorkers) and 5/6 of us could not for the life of us understand our waitress, and we thought she might be speaking a foreign language, until one of our number, who was fluent in the Waffle House dialect of gibberish, translated for us.

no one on earth

fucks better

than waffle house waitresses

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago

the secret ingredient is meth

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

For the patron or the waitress?

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I really like you. Not as much as a wavvenhaus hure.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. We're pretty sure she was shooting up between waffles, but we all knew when walking out that it could've gone MUCH weirder.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ok so me (bald white man) and my boy (Puerto Rican, braids), were eating at a waffle House beside our hotel late. The two waitresses came up, very young, and said are you the movie guys?

We're like what?

One of them said yeah you're staying at the hotel, we make a movie and get paid. We tipped and dipped.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Eh? Whoever made this either went to a unique one or don't know what they're talking about.

Waffle Houses are not spectacles. They're as basic as they come. Basic seating. A gal who calls you "suga" and a mute cook who doesn't give you eye contact. You might be able to see the grill if you're sitting at the bar. But that's like saying you can see the grill at your McDonald's.

People go there because you can get a cheap breakfast for like $3.18 cents.

It's not good. It's not bad. It's not anything.

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Anywhere where you can get a meal for $3.18 in 2024 is good in my book

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That food is just fine and partially sustained my life for years. Double order of hashbrowns crispy with onion and chili. That's all you need for a day and it's cheap and good.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 1 year ago

I thought the whole point of hibachi was that they do it right in front of you and maybe even put on a show. Do the cooks at Waffle House even know how to make an onion volcano?

[-] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago

The show is usually a restaurant-wide brawl. You even get to participate in it if you want.

Thank god they don’t dump mayo— I mean, “yum yum sauce” — on everything at Waffle House

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

That sauce is fucking delicious and I will NOT stand for it being slandered in this fashion

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I agree but it is pink mayo.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yumyum is watered down Thousand Island dressing and I will fucking stab anyone who tries to take me off this hill. You like Yumyum? That's because you don't know that they used to do a savory mustard sauce that was meant only for gods, but the recipe was stolen and pased on to man, like Promethean fire. Now you just get that plastic encapsulated Kraft dribble instead. Fuck Yumyum sauce.

I bought a bigass camp chef griddle for our back yard based on waffle house and japanese hibachi and it is completely worth it.

[-] pachrist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Same. Cooking 4 pounds of bacon at once is wild.

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

This is fondue raclette in French Canada.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

A winery near me does a raclette weekend for Valentine's Day where you get a plate of raclette with a glass of wine.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There's a restaurant in NYC, or at least there was, where they serve you some basic meat and potatoes then scrape a pound of raclette on your plate. It was delicious. Name of the place? "Raclette"

[-] Chef_Boyardee@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I'm sorry I'm late to the party.

A single hash brown all the way, meaning with cheese, country, gravy, chili, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions. I think even jalapenos. it's glorious. Add an iced tea and you're at $11.50. just make sure your drive isn't more than 20 minutes to get home.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

My spouse bought a box of the hash brown and waffle mix each from WH online, and so he made them for breakfast at Christmas one year. He also bought me Waffle House socks.
