RIP Walt Ehmer, CEO of Waffle House

When I first went to work at my company I used to roll up in my Camry like an H-Town G drinking from my Waffle House cup. Our parking attendant who grew up two blocks from campus once told me, “my uncle told me that there’s only three people a black man will invite to Waffle House. Their minister, a jail house attorney, or the Fiesta manager.”

I played baseball in high school for two years when we came back from SA. Every year our coach signed us up for a tournament in Arkadelphia so we could eat at Waffle House.

Long live the greatest food chain in the USA.

Love me some Waffle House. Spent a lot of time in Tennessee and further south. Breakfast at Waffle House and the a bag of boiled peanuts for snacking later. Best purchased in a rent car.

So, the guy who created a fried food emporium died at 58? Hmmm. Go figure.

He didn’t create it. He was the ceo. Waffle House is older than him.

And he had pancreatic cancer.

Ahh, someone blindly rushing in to defend the fried food emporium. Get’em bubba.

Just providing the facts.

You’re being a lipid alarmist. You probably drive by chicken houses at three am playing Blue Oyster Cult’s “Godzilla” to raise their stress levels. You’re evil.
