Have you cracked the code ?
The way the plate is set up tells the cook what food goes on that plate.

More info please? For one thing I frequently do the all star and they usually give it to me on 3 plates. Oh wait, is that the system? Waffles go on round plates. Meat goes on little round plates. Eggs and hash browns on platters?

Watch them. If the jelly goes at 3 o'clock it means different than jelly at 6 o'clock.
Sometimes the jelly goes upside down.

Ever notice their dish wash system ? Very cost efficient.

They served me up a fine Thanksgiving dinner one year in Fayetteville N.C.

I've had them serve everything on a platter. Gets kinda cramped, tho I don't mind if my grilled mushrooms and onions decide to defect to the cheesy eggs or hashbrowns. It all goes down the same pipe.

I'm resurrecting this old thread because the code is revealed:

Working Tourists: Update: Waffle House Secret Code

Now we can have something to keep us busy while we wait for cheesy eggs.

Aw man, now you've done it. I'm going to have to go back on the road, just to get my WH fix. Either that, or move to a town that has 2 or 3 of em.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Well... maybe for a week.

You'll take waffle house for granted when there's one close by home. Once in a while on the road it's nice to stop at one for hot breakfast.

I used to go once a week, if not more. They're getting cost prohibitive, tho. What would usually cost 10 bux, is now close to 15. Can't afford that too often.
