The Waffle House Fat Files: A Culinary Odyssey

[@Rachel-pnw]

The nickname for that model of gun is 'the boom box'. Breakfast at 3 am when you are staggering home from a bar crawl is a college staple.

[@reindeer7752]

Hurricane Helene devastated where I live a few months ago. Waffle House was open.

Scattered, smothered, covered, chunked! If you know then you know. 🤤😁🤘

[@Levi_Amongst_the_Watchers]

He leaves various different firearms in the background of his videos because it allows him to claim them as a work related item and he then can receive some amount of tax write-off on it. I'm sure there’s alot more to it than that but thats the bassic reason for the gun in the background and when he uses them in his sponsored ad's.

[@Jimbow-sz9kh]

That's a solid reason. personally I'd just say cause it's cool and makes the right type of people angry 😂

[@nullakjg767]

also what use is a gun if its locked away? has to be within reach to be useful if you need it. if you dont have kids or visitors, theres no issue.

[@Levi_Amongst_the_Watchers]

@nullakjg767 Very true.

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

My German teacher in high school was a interpreter during WW2 and could not discuss things he translated for 50 years. A lot of my teachers in the 60's and 70's had similar restrictions.

[@jasonwhoever5528]

The All-Star is two eggs prepared however you like. Your choice of cinnamon raisin toast or regular toast. Your choice of ham bacon or sausage. One waffle however you like it or you can substitute that waffle for a biscuit and gravy. One order of hash browns. I forget how much it is but it's around $10.

[@Amandaarford83]

We had a really bad storm system coming through my town a few years ago and there were tornado chasers here from all the country expecting tornados and I would have been more terrified if our Waffle House was closed than by all the tornado chasers being here.

[@ncthom88]

There are about a dozen Waffle Houses within a 7-mile radius of my house. Three of them are within a mile of one another on the same street.

[@michaelwhelan2376]

I miss the Waffle House. I used to live in NC where they were everywhere. In Philly there are none. I did go to one about an hour away in Allentown PA. Its always yummy and quick. Its an amazing place to pop in a get breakfast 24 hours a day for many locations. Great reaction--keep up the reactions--cheers mates!

[@Longhauler85]

Go to the one in Elkton, MD, right off I-95. It's slightly closer to Philly than Allentown. But I could be wrong, lol.

[@michaelwhelan2376]

@@Longhauler85 I live in NE Philly. Would you believe it is the same distance! Never would have thought that. I may have to do a waffle house for breakfast and then down to Towson for Nando's Chicken for lunch or dinner...my favourite chicken place---used to eat in the UK all the time when I was working there.

[@Longhauler85]

@@michaelwhelan2376 Yeah, I was wondering, considering how big Philly is lol.

[@Amandaarford83]

I was actually gonna do a buy me a coffee request for this next month so glad you did this one!

[@emilyb5307]

0:53 that'd be called "a tax write-off" lol. Also known as "background decor"😅

[@firefighterchick]

Waffle House does have good food. The fight scene is usually late at night and in the wee hours of the morning. We have one here locally here in southeast Pennsylvania. I loved the backstory. 😊

[@njmcd]

I grew up eating at Waffle Houses with my family and we still eat at them. Good food, friendly, no fights

[@lordlockdown64]

Amazing story. The waffle never really took off over here in the UK, a full English breakfast rules over here and can be eaten any time of the day or night and is deliciously good. Ingrediants are similar although we add mushrooms, tomato, baked beans, toast and/or fried bread ... mmm

[@mamamac70]

That all sounds tasty except that in the states baked beans are a side dish for BBQ or hamburgers.

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

You know it is a really bad storm coming when they close the Waffle House. This is their standard.

[@karlsmith2570]

21:56 As far as the All-Star goes, you have the option of Country Ham, Bacon, or Sausage. You don't typically get all 3, but you do get a waffle with the All-star, and instead of grits, you can also opt for hashbrowns

[@ATN2USN]

I ate at one last Saturday with my son and grand daughter. It was her choice, she likes the waffles and dips her sausage in syrup. Always consistent and usually busy.

[@annasylvester4516]

We jokingly called it Awful House when I was in college, but in fact the food is really good.

[@Sixwheelin]

Always a stop o the way home from the bar at night however, cops know this also lol

[@Longhauler85]

You all should do Jolly's video on Waffle House. They go in and try the food. Awesome reaction.

[@AnaFrost-k9k]

I know about Waffle House staying open during hurricanes in Florida. Though there was a recent hurricane that shocked everyone when they actually had to close. That was in the news that were following the path of the hurricane and it made you realize that hurricane was really bad.

[@NerdyNanaSimulations]

We have two waffle houses, the one thing I will almost always get is a Texas cheese steak, steak, cheese, onions on Texas Toast throw some hashbrowns on and I'm good. Jolly did an awesome video where they went to waffle house if you want to see more.

[@RonP-p4h]

Remember going to concerts and then hitting the Waffle House eat and relive the show much to the chagrin of the employees there because a big number of the concert goes were there too

[@moe92870]

Heads up, Fat Electrician has a outro-clip at the end of his videos, just an fyi.

[@colebaker5651]

It’s hangover/drunk food but still very good.

[@boroblueyes]

A weapon in a safe, closet or gun case does you no good when someone is kicking in your door.

[@nullakjg767]

which is funny because brits are the ones who were kicking down doors that led to our gun culture lol.

[@KarenCatMom2]

Waffle House is more than just a breakfast place. It helped me through mini late nights up studying for exams.. I went to Tennessee Tech University, in a town halfway between Nashville and Knoxville. There was nothing that stayed open past 10:00 at that time other than the Waffle House. I'm 70 years old this year. I still go to Waffle House at least once a month. I live in Nashville Tennessee. There are 4 WH stores within 12 miles of my house. I rarely order waffles, although they are great! . I usually order cheesy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon& hash browns scattered and diced with tomatoes. They also have sausage or steak cooked on the grill. Several of my friends love steak and eggs. You can get sandwiches too. They have great hash browns, available with a dozen different things cooked in them. . You can also get a large bowl of grits or hash browns with eggs, cheese, bacon, sausage, ham or whatever else you want thrown in there. My favorite Is scrambled eggs with cheese, a bowl of grits, crispy bacon, hash browns scattered and diced, add raisin toast. I like to crumble the bacon up in my grits. I have a lifelong relationship with waffle House LOL When I was in my twenties and early thirties they were the place to go after a night at the disco. We'd stop in at WH at 2 or 3:00 in the morning before we went home but those days are long gone LOL 😊

[@stevedavenport9429]

they also serve pork chops and thin t bone steaks but they are not on the menu.

[@hardtackbeans9790]

Waffle House is pretty good guys. Not the best, but good enough. And 3am when you are ripping drunk i hear is when it really shines.

[@phobiaone306]

Always let his videos play all the way out. He has little tidbits he adds in at the very end. Sometimes it is just something funny, but sometimes it is actual footage related to the story.

[@wesleywright6458]

I live in a small town on the west coast and I know about Waffle House, being on a different level of any other restaurant or business. You know they are different when anyone is looking to them for guidance in a natural disaster. I can’t wait to visit the south and try Waffle House, even more than visiting and meeting family members in the south who I’ve never met before.

[@BrendaKruger-o5n]

Waffles were made for by my grandmother. Ive only been to a waffle house twice. There is one in albany. N.y. but its 4 hrs.away.❤

[@colleenmonfross4283]

Love the Fat Electrician! I had no idea about any of that regarding the Waffle House. I have eaten there a number of times when I lived in the South, it was ok, very basic.

[@hrussell9677]

Waffle House is best at 3:00 am when you’re on a long drive and need to stop to stay awake and need some food.

[@CJWJR]

Waffle House might not serve food of the highest caliber, but it's great for when you have to travel around Thanksgiving or Christmas and every other restaurant along the interstate is closed.

[@saaamember97]

If you haven't done so already, watch the JOLLY video, where they and Chef Noah get absolutely knee-walking inebriated and then visit a Waffle House at 3 am.

[@markwise9138]

Waffle House is the best. They have good burgers and chili as well! Great, now I'm hungry.

[@Book_of_Grudges]

1:00 he puts his guns in videos deliberately so he can claim it on his taxes as a business expense.

[@binxbolling]

They don't sell just breakfast.

[@bleachedbrother]

You should react to the video from JOLLY where they both ate at a Waffle House at 3am with a friend (chef) who was drunk from celebrating his birthday at a local bar!❤

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Have eaten there several times, only because they're open when others aren't. Usually prefer IHOP.

[@SVHAW87]

You should do the reaction video for the Waffle House Index called "How This Waffle Restaurant Mastered Hurricanes". kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3PEaWWEeMl_pcU

[@Jude_196]

If you'd like to learn more about Waffle House - Jolly did a video with Noah - and, they are IN the restaurant....and, they show the food and try it. If you had Waffle Houses, over there, Guys: You'd EAT more WAFFLES!! :) :) :) GREAT, greasy place to EAT! LOVE IT!!

[@ChristopherWilliams-h7r]

I had waffles the other day actually

[@toodlescae]

I love Waffle House but there'a not one close enough to me to make it a regular place to eat. The last time I ate at Waffle House was in Ft. Worth fir the funeral of my cousin's youngest son a couple of years ago.

[@sandybourdeau9300]

I love their food!!!

[@smylebutta7250]

And you didn't watch it all.

[@bleachedbrother]

Waffle House is an AMERICAN restaurant that only exists in AMERICA so why in the heck are you jabbering on about how nobody in the UK eats waffles and wouldn't recognize Waffle House as a breakfast restaurant? No, really Captain Obvious? They're not trying to sell waffles in the UK. They're trying to sell waffles in AMERICA 🇺🇸!!!!!!

[@Hawk-ODA212]

This was really cool. A lot of information I knew nothing about related to Waffle House. I haven't eaten there in years. But I think there is a visit there in the near future. Thanks for another incredible reaction guys.- Hawk

[@BritPopsReact]

You should!…. Maybe in the morning as we know what goes on at night lol SNL 👀
