Title: Saturday waffle house lunch
Post by: DownSouth on January 20, 2007, 12:53:32 PM
Runny eggs, bacon, buttered toast, cheesy hash browns, and a grilled cheese to top it off.  Nap time.  The south rocks!

I didn't really want bacon that much but then I thought about Gamp and I just couldn't let her down.  Plus I ate about a third of everything I ordered.

ewww... runny eggs.

"And I took the butcher knife and put it up to her neck. I said if you want to live to see tomorrow, you better start fryin' them eggs a little bit better then what you a fryin' em - I'm tired of eatin' sloppy, slimy eggs! "

Dipping toast in runny eggs is about the best thing ever.  Your wife has corrupted you.

I was looking into it at one point.  Most of the decent ones were paid programs, though.  I can poke around HotScripts and Sourceforge if there's an interest.

If it doesn't cost much I'd even be willing to pay.

And how did that discussion go?  Those places are pretty much always busy.

Man, I love Waffle House.  My standard of chopped steak and eggs has been replaced recently by cheese 'n eggs with hash browns and bacon.  Sometimes I'll get a side of grits, too, which is something many non-southern people probably would question.

Grits goes with anything. My favorite breakfast is cheese grits with eggs, bacon and deer sausage all mixed up and poured on a hot cat's head biscuit and served with a an ice cold glass of milk. yum.

I am from the south, and I must respectfully disagree. Grits are gross.

I don't go out of my way for grits, but I like grits enough to eat it when it is offered.  Polenta, too.

Grits = cream of wheat but made of corn instead, right?

MMM.  Cream of Wheat.
Title: Re: Saturday waffle house lunch
Post by: BigDun on January 20, 2007, 10:01:22 PM
I used to like Cream of Wheat with some butter, milk and honey.
Title: Re: Saturday waffle house lunch
Post by: ReBurn on January 20, 2007, 10:02:08 PM
Cream of wheat is something that I can't just get into.  I think the concept of the two is the same, soaking some form of ground grain in boiled water (or in milk as many cream of wheat aficionados prefer).  My mom made it the consistency of oatmeal when I was a kid, and I always equate it with glue.
Title: Re: Saturday waffle house lunch
Post by: BigDun on January 20, 2007, 10:04:23 PM
Adding the milk and butter is what made it acceptable when I was a kid. The final form should be like a thickened soup.

The first time I had grits, I thought "Mmmm... it looks similar to a cheese soufflé. Light and fluffy egg goodness with the wonderful, sharp cheddar flavor."

One bite of grits and I changed my mind to "Ewwww! It tastes like chalky, coarsely ground Cream of Wheat with a 1/10 slice of American cheese thrown in."
Title: Re: Saturday waffle house lunch

What crazy person puts american cheese in grits?  Cheddar forevar!
Title: Re: Saturday waffle house lunch
Post by: Infobahn on January 20, 2007, 10:25:06 PM
Garlic Cheese Grits are great.

We have been talking about a lot of different business opportunities.  If you look on their website, there are no WHs past a point.  None on the west coast, none in Idaho.

I have got to think that there is a demand, especially with people traveling/driving along the interstate.

We are looking into a Tennis Center, a franchise called Pump it Up (a indoor kids play center), and others.
Title: Re: Saturday waffle house lunch
Post by: BigDun on January 20, 2007, 10:31:18 PM
If I were seriously looking at franchising a fast food business, I would consider Sonic (if the region didn't already have one), Firehouse Subs, or a WaWa Convenience Store (I don't actually think that WaWa franchises, but if they did, the concept is an almost guaranteed winner).

I wish that the Swedish firm IKEA franchised. I know of a dozen markets where an IKEA would have pickup trucks and SUVs lined around the block to pick up purchases.
Title: Re: Saturday waffle house lunch
Post by: Infobahn on January 20, 2007, 10:35:14 PM
Sonic is coming here this summer.  That is a $1.5mm up front, or something crazy like that.  In-n-Out would be the killer one to open.

Potbelly Sandwich Company is another.

I know people that work for IKEA, and swear they will never leave.
Title: Re: Saturday waffle house lunch
Post by: DownSouth on January 20, 2007, 10:38:10 PM
I bet you would make a fortune with Soniic or Firehouse.
Title: Re: Saturday waffle house lunch
Post by: BigDun on January 20, 2007, 10:38:52 PM
Potbelly has a great market focus. I would put them high up on the list as a potential route.

In n Out doesn't franchise.  It's all family owned.

I checked.

My wife and I are considering relocating and Idaho has been mentioned. Are there any high tech or Fortune 500 opportunities in your area?

I want to move somewhere new, I think, maybe.

If I could find a job that would make regular trips home possible, I'd be outta here.  Maybe.
Title: Re: Saturday waffle house lunch
Post by: BigDun on January 20, 2007, 11:09:12 PM
We have moved beyond the "it's possible to drive" distance from our respective families. So our next move is nothing more than a possibly more expensive plane ticket for us or our loved ones to see each other.

Seattle is booming, but housing is expensive.

The CDA/Spokane area is growing fast, and housing is still affordable if you stay away from the lakes.  I am renting a new 2500sf house for $1200 a month.

There aren't the Fortune 500 companies, but there are a number of INC 500 (private) companies here.  We were 43 this year, but now we are public.

Go west young man.

Plus you don't have to work on Sundays. Of course you have to attend the Jesus Loves Cows church, but hey, it's a small price to pay for some good chicken.
