Why do the menus at a Chinese restaurants have numbers for items on the menu? I often wonder if they do this in China. Incidently, the guy that took my order was named 'Won.'
Mexican restarants also use the number system. A combination plate was number 18. It got really weird when I noticed the waiters name tag, 'Juan."
Would I have to visit Germany to see an apple pie listed as 'number 4?' As it turns out, no, you only need to visit the Waffle Hut. It looks as though the number system is needed for bleary-eyed barflys, alcoholics and extremely rural folk. Does the Hut's mission statement say: Bringing the mediocre to the lowest common denominator for over 20 years and after midnight!
- The Waffle Hut offers:
- a place eat again after you throw up from your all-night bar hopping
- a comfortable place to make that payment for 'services rendered'
- a chance to see what waffles and eggs should like on the menu
- a chance to see what that 'chick' you picked up at a bar looks like under fluorescent lights BEFORE you take her home
- it's the place he'll take you to tell you he's married and plead to go to your house
- an intersteller bus stop for aliens species roaming the galaxy
- a place where teenage Goths can go to 'fit in' and dread suburban life and braces together
- a chance to 'meet family' without being noticed by your friends
- a place Bush supporters can meet to discuss the book of Revelations, the apocalypse and Hal Lindsay
- where Karl Rove gets all of his ideas
- where fundamentalist TV evangelists can meet their homosexual partners and prostitutes in confidence
The Waffle Hut proves there is a market for anything and everyone. It's the one place I truly fear. You really have to be a frightening person to eat greasy foods under those conditions.
Relax, if you don't have a Hut in your neighborhood, no worry, you can see all this and more after midnight in a 24 hour Wal-Mart.
