Waffle House is so good. I was on a road trip between New Orleans and Atlanta and stopped at a Waffle House in the middle of Alabama. Biggest surprise in terms of expectations and food quality. It's like the In-n-out of breakfast food.
I've always said "You don't go to Waffle House, you end up at Waffle House."

#42A lot of these articles announcing closings don’t make it clear whether it’s temporary or permanent. This one is no exception. While I would assume it’s temporary, I’m confused why this is front page on HN. Several businesses are closing temporarily due to Coronavirus. Not sure why this is news. Unless these are permanent closings, which would be (sad) news indeed.
It's news because, as pointed out by a number of other comments, Waffle House is notorious for staying open even in dire circumstances.

I highly recommend either smothered and covered or all the way. They’re one of my favorite eateries, and working the grill for a short stint is on my bucket list to buy a few shares of stock to frame on the wall (their stock is private and can only be bought by employees).
I thought if too many different people bought a stock, you had to make it public. Is that true? How do they keep their stock private?

"Hurricane" Corona, based on projections, is estimated to claim more lives in FL than all other hurricanes combined. Could be hype or truth, but both storms and pandemics require lots of prep and recovery.

The hash browns are amazing. They are usually open 24 hours and there are reasons why we have a Waffle House Index. Previously on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15105662
