...and who doesnt' love waffles at 10 pm.
My friend Emmilie and went to the Waffle House the other night and it rocked. We were just chillin waiting for our order when the most amazing thing happened. A man came in and sat down a couple booths behind me. I don't know how I didn't notice him because I should have felt the awesome that he radiated, but i didn't. But as soon as I heard him speak I instantly admired this stranger.
The first words out of his mouth preceeded the question as to whether he was ready to order or not. He said "I'm ready to rock and roll whenever you are." Pffffft who says that. I wanted to badly to turn around and see who he was soooo bad and the more he spoke the more I just wanted to see who this man was. But I didn't want it to be awkwardly obvious so i just sat there. The next words he spoke were his order, "I'll have 8 eggs, hold the yoke on 6. Hashbrowns, can you steam those? and Wheat toast...dry." Later he requested that they throw a square of cheese on the eggs.
As soon as he ordered I asked Emmilie if Gaston was sitting behind me. She just laughed and nodded. And once he got his food Emmilie started laughing even more as Gaston proceeded to cover his plate with hot sauce. And he scarfed his food because he was not there long. When he did leave Emmilie made sure that got a good look at this Gaston character. He was HUGE. Big square chin, ginormous chest, and massive arms, and he probably stood about 6'3". He really did look like Gaston from the Beauty and the Beast. The only thing that tipped me off that he probably wasn't THE Gaston is that this man wore a green shirt and I'm pretty sure that Gaston wears a red shirt.
I've decided that the day I order "8 eggs hold the yoke on 6" is the day I become a real man. Seriously who does that. The only people who can do that are those who could pummel/devour in you in 3.2 seconds if you ever decided to make fun of their eating habits within ear shot of them. So between that and some great waffles we had an amazing night at the Waffle House.
