The Waffle House Index

The Wikipedia article is wrong. I have a recording of Craig Fugate telling the Waffle House postulate in November 2009 during the inaugural Random Hacks of Kindness event at the Hacker Dojo in Mountain View, CA.<p>Edit to add link: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;flickr.com&#x2F;photos&#x2F;jeremyjohnstone&#x2F;4110293316&#x2F;in&#x2F;album-72157622798645540&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;flickr.com&#x2F;photos&#x2F;jeremyjohnstone&#x2F;4110293316&#x2F;in&#x2F;albu...</a>

Those Waffle House cooks have to be some of the most talented people in any kitchen in North America.<p>Sure the food is super simple to prepare, but the way they are able to handle the stress and rush should be studied so that we can learn to apply it to our own lives.<p>I love watching the servers call out orders while the cook never misses a beat and prepares everything without writing anything down or even looking at a ticket.

I experienced Snowmageddon Atlanta back in 2014. Drove home on roads that were literally frozen over with ice. Stopped at a Waffle House as it was the only place open. They were short staffed because employees couldn&#x27;t drive in and had a limited menu. But they were open.

Something very comforting about Waffle House. Wish we had one in NYC.
