Waffle House museum

Posted by gtyree on Tuesday, September 2, 2008 · 1 Comment 

I have eaten countless meals at Waffle House (though none lately) and always knew that they started here in GA.  What I didn’t realize is that it actually started just a mile from where I live, near Avondale Estates.

The AJC has a story today on the founders and a new museum they have created in the spot of the very first location.

The Waffle House Web site (www.wafflehouse.com) gives a heap of golly-gee stats. Did you know that every year Waffle House serves enough grits to fill 86 semi-trucks? Enough eggs to make a 28-ton omelet? Enough bacon to stretch end-to-end from Atlanta to Los Angeles seven times?

They have a photo gallery up and the grand opening is tomorrow at 10am.  Since Labor Day of 1955 they have been grilling up breakfast for and and everyone.

The museum will open by appointment only during the week but likely will open one weekend a month.  I will be on the lookout so I can go check it out.
