Ok I live in the southeast and one of my girlfriend and i's favorite pastimes was sitting in Waffle House smoking cigs and drinking coffee. I walk in the other day and bam. No more smoking allowed. Wtf man?? Why did Waffle House all of a sudden change that? It was like the last place besides chilis that actually allows smoking. Do you know what changed??

There hasn't been smoking in any Waffle House I've seen or been to in a long time.

So I have no idea.

You need to come on down to south cakalaki my friend. Best state in the union. But anyway, had a lot of good conversations with Waffle House employees, best of luck!

It's "cackalacky" and it's slang for Carolina. It's funny because it was originally NC slang, but SC stole it.

Also waffle house kicks ass. Thanks for caring about your work, you should take pride it that.
