\"waffle<\/a>My essay for Imaginative Conservative this week<\/a> is a study of an American success story: Waffle House<\/p>\n

\n

Often on my day off, before a morning motorcycle ride in the mountains, I treat myself to breakfast at a Southern American institution: Waffle House.<\/p>\n

Waffle Houses are not luxurious. The box-like buildings are designed for cheerful efficiency, and cheerfully efficient they are. As soon as you walk through the door the staff call out a cheerful, \u201cGood morning!\u201d The pleasantries continue as you are seated and a drink is immediately placed before you. A moment later the waitress is ready to advise you or take your order. She\u2019s well groomed, clean and friendly. She\u2019s talkative without being a bore and easy-going without being slack.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0menu<\/a>\u00a0is also cheerful and efficient. The All Star Special is the best value. You get two eggs as you like them, grits (this is South Carolina) or hash browns (if you\u2019re a Yankee), bacon or sausage, toast, coffee and a waffle, and the mug of coffee has no bottom.<\/span><\/p>\n

I like to sit at the counter and watch the team at work\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
