The real testament to Waffle House is the way more than a few hipsters of my acquaintance started going for a serving of post-party irony--then found out they really love hash browns in some variation of Scattered, Smothered, Covered, Chunked & Topped. Even more especially, it's the the vibe: Waffle House is one place pretense won't get you anywhere, so just chill with your crew and confess your sins as the sun comes up.

Bingo. You can't pretend to be anything in a Waffle House. You are hungover, we know it, you know it. Who cares if you drove up in a Bugatti? You're still eating dollar fried eggs and dollar coffee just like the rest of us, you just can't showboat.
