Thanks for the video Rusty....

Saw this in the comments below the video...


"I once saw a WH waitress quit mid-shift, sit down and smoke an entire cigarette inside the restaurant, and then get rehired on the spot and finish her shift."

LOL

You are most welcome. I am a fan of Matt Mitchell. He has a boatload of funny stuff on YouTube.

My wife would agree with you on Sonic's. She's a Chick Fillet fan, although I am not impressed with Chick's boring chicken sandwich. I've been to Sonic's once for the milk shake, which was pretty dang good.

I pass a Sonic everytime I go out and on days I take the Harley, a chocolate shake is a must have.

Grits, hash browns and waffles.

The thing I like about WH is they give you a proper rasher of bacon. And what's there not to like about a breakfast that gives you not one, not two but THREE proper portions of starch. If you want to go big, order the All Star with a double portion of Hashbrowns for only $.50 more!
I like the way they use the words "upgrade" and "large". Trust me-large is a double!

On our first visit in 2018 I never got to try grits. It was available, I just never bothered about it. I regretted it after getting home.

Last year I finally tried them at a WH just outside Fort Worth for breakfast. I found them unusual to say the least. Very sweet to my taste and not at all like the porridge I am used to. I decided to stick with the hash browns after that.

Speaking of hash browns, there are so many varieties available in America. Here they are about half the size of a slice of bread, but in America I've had them like small nuggets, and at WH like grated potato cooked together in a pancake sized mass.

As for waffles, both Karen and I find them the highlight of our American trips. Not long after we got home last year the cafe's attached to BP gas stations started selling waffles, reheated and with maple syrup, as a special. I managed to exercise restraint for all of a week. Pity they are now off the menu.

You can do a lot with grits and they're easy to fix at home. I like them with a lot of black pepper, jack cheese, Tabasco, and chopped or sliced jalapenos or green chiles (fresh or canned). Really beats a dull breakfast that lacks fire.

But do they have scrapple? Apologise, but can't read a breakfast post without pictures of scrapple, homefries, dippy eggs, oj and pumpernickel toast

Grits, even Ethiopians turn up their noses and stagger away. Grits, the only food where you can eat half a bowl, look away, then look back and the dang bowl will be full again. If mom or dad fixed them, I was forced to eat them, all of them. There were a lot of meals where I was left at the table alone with a cold, congealed frogeyed, tear stained partially eaten bowl of grits in front of me. I really don't like grits.

While I prefer Goetta (Zinzinnati's official breakfast sausage) I will never turn down Scrapple.

You obviously ate plain, dull grits. I wouldn't like them either. Has all the culinary allure of cold cereal. I don't know what Ethiopians eat.

Shrimp grits are a southern essential. Cheese grits are good, grits and gravy or grits and butter, is passable. Eating plain grits is like eating boiled white flour. Only a northerner would do that.

The hell is scrapple ?

That's very well put. Grits can be the basis for many tasty meals.

I like Grits, but it's an acquired taste. Not instant grits, though.

One of the funniest scenes in the movie,

Don't forget the corned beef hash!

Don't forget a little Geauga County, Ohio pure maple syrup.

Very similar to sausage in content but generally in bricks instead of tubes. Also, like sausage, you don't inquire too closely about that content. There's an old saying that every part of the pig but the squeal is/can be used for food. IIRC, there's some corn meal added. Considering my father's opinion, it's much, much better than fried corn meal mush. (Apparently a breakfast staple of his youth-I'll skip that story.)

I enjoy Awful Waffle as we call it. I consider it a staple of road food. Although I admit that last time I ate there I found a black fly in my scrambled eggs.

..I used to eat at the Jacksonville WHouse a lot on Saturday mornings---''better'' and different than the USMC chow hall..I would eat a big breakfast and read the paper [ that's the old days, for you ]

 

[Rustyt1953]

Just an observation... While I really like WH they aren't on par with morning chow at military mess halls. I know I am going quite a ways back in memory land but during my hitch I never had a less than satisfying breakfast.

As you were, carry on, smoke 'em if ya got 'em.
