Los Angeles to Atlanta – Day Four

By , June 21, 2004

At the risk of sounding like Steve Martin extolling the virtues of his favorite pizza-in-a-cup restaurant, I must say that Sonic Drive-In makes the best pancake-on-a-stick. It’s way better than anyone else’s pancake-on-a-stick, I’ll tell you that much right now.

On the topic of fast food, why doesn’t California have Waffle House?? I am by no stretch a fan of fast food, in fact I can barely eat the stuff, but I’d be down for Waffle House every now and then. I think that is probably because I really like waffles, and it’s hard to ruin one. As long as it isn’t a Belgian waffle, I’m happy. Add a cup of coffee, and maybe even a side of bacon, and that’s a meal I can eat at least twice a week. Three times if it’s a leap year. Okay, that made no sense, even by my standards. All I mean is that I like waffles, and I never knew there was a fast-food chain dedicated to them.

By the way, I am in Atlanta now. I knocked out the last 800 miles in one long stretch yesterday. I drove from Dallas through Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, all the way into Georgia. That is five states in one day, and it puts me here a day ahead of schedule. It gave me time to see the sites. Here is a site:

Whataburger

Yah, a fast food joint. On account of that is all you friggin’ see around here!! At least Whataburger is an obscure one, but ugh! Okay, I’ll stop hating on Atlanta. I haven’t actually seen that much of it yet, and my fast-food-everywhere opinion is primarily limited to what I saw on the interstate coming into town.

The last batch of CDs what that I played:

Beastie Boys Check Your Head
Beastie Boys Ill Communication
Prince The Hits: Volume 1
Ash 1977
Ladytron Light and Magic
The Cure Galore
St. Germain Tourist

Okay, car is in Atlanta, time to fly home to California. I miss you Fizzy!!!!!!

    @amandaness, OMG what is Huddle House? THAT IS THE CUTEST NAME FOR A RESTAURANT EVER!! I totally want to go there!

  6. amandaness says:

    @Peasprout, It’s pretty much another version of waffle house. Do you have an IHOP? You must have an IHOP.

  7. Peasprout says:

    @amandaness, Yeah, we have the International House of Pancakes.

    Ya know, I’ve never had Whataburger? I’ve never even seen one. Sheltered child! :P

  9. Man, I can’t believe you made the whole drive. Big Props.

    I always hear about the Waffle House in rap songs. I never knew it was a real place. Very Interesting.

    @The Treat Suite, I always heard raps about the Waffle House too, but I assumed they meant a generic spot, not an actual joint called Waffle House. Now we know.
