font-size: 12pt;\">Oh, Waffle House, how I love thee.\u00a0 No really, I love Waffle House.\u00a0 I go at least once a month regardless of how healthy I decide to try to be for a week.\u00a0 In fact, in the morning of the day that I\u2019m writing this right now, I went to Waffle House.\u00a0 I had a heaping mound of hash browns with chili and onions on it, and a side of sausage.\u00a0 It was delicious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">But anyway, as much as I love Waffle House, there\u2019s no mistaking that it\u2019s a magnet for odd stories and interesting characters.\u00a0 Some, not as savory as others, and in the case of this Macon Waffle House, unfortunately a volatile and very hostile customer, hell bent on getting some barbecue sauce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Now I\u2019ve been to Waffle Houses in at least five different states, and I can\u2019t say that I\u2019ve ever once seen barbecue sauce available at a single one of them.\u00a0 It\u2019s always ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce, and sometimes there have been A1 and\/or Heinz 57 and\/or the occasional Waffle House-branded imitation steak sauce that\u2019s almost like A1 mixed with Heinz 57.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">But never barbecue sauce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Don\u2019t tell Willie Edward Drake though, because he was absolutely certain that Waffle House had barbecue sauce.\u00a0 I don\u2019t disagree that they probably should, because barbecue sauce is delicious and goes with just about everything that ketchup could, but facts are facts, never seen a Waffle House with any before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Regardless, I have to admire the man\u2019s dedication and drive to score some barbecue sauce to eat with his presumably sandwich, steak and\/or eggs or hash browns.\u00a0 I can\u2019t say that I\u2019d be willing to go to jail over barbecue sauce, but not only was he willing, he made sure to say it loud enough to be quoted that he was:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cI\u2019ll go to (expletive) jail over some barbecue sauce!\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">And he did.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">A+ journalism on the reporting though, and although it may never win a Pulitzer, it sure wins the hearts of people who love exploitative and ironic stories like this one, like myself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Now I\u2019m curious just how much extra life barbecue sauce on Waffle House foods could inject into a business that I already love.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Short story shorter: man loses his shit when Waffle House doesn\u2019t have barbecue sauce, goes to jail over it Oh, Waffle House, how I love thee.\u00a0 No really, I love Waffle House.\u00a0 I go at least once a month regardless of how healthy I decide to try to be for a week.\u00a0 In fact, in &hellip;
