No way. Waffle House has an open kitchen. It is small. They do short order cooking. They're dirty. Denny's and IHOP have closed kitchens and hostesses.
It's a crappy restaurant, not a diner. This may be a regional thing, but having the term diner used on someplace like waffle house is making my insides get knotted up. A diner is such a special thing to me, and many people here know my goal in life is to have my own diner.
Call it whatever you want, but to me, I can't stomach the idea.

Like I said, I'm trying to understand the difference. It's just not clicking in my head.
"The diner's cultural influence continues today. Many non-prefab restaurants (including franchises like Denny's) have copied the look of 1950s diners for nostalgic appeal, while Waffle House uses an interior layout derived from the diner."
They use the interior styling of a traditional diner, but lack the pre-fabrication that makes a pure diner, a diner. Also, being a chain, makes it a non-traditional diner also. This is something I wish I could explain better, but a Diner is something you know as soon as you see it, and waffle house just ain't it (for me).
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
the first couple sections showcase the different types of prefab, from converted wagon to steel frame construction. The Worcester Lunch Car company is considered the golden age of diners, and kinda set the standard for the next century.
Like it says, some people use the term diner for places in more traditional buildings, but I'm not one of those people. I will bend a little bit on a traditional diner form that was stick built and not pre-fab though.

The feel of Waffle house is the same as a diner, I'll say that. It looks very much the same too. There is a Diner that Katy would approve of in Lake City. It's actually a singlewide trailer turned into a diner. The floor isn't level and the food is awesome. I'll take you there sometime, Dave. It's called Fox's Diner.

Fair enough. I think I am getting what you're going for. I just don't like it when I don't understand concepts. I get a little excited. Ask Abra.

and this is a topic that get's me excitable as well, so I understand. I have New England pride the same way a lot of southerners have Southern pride, and that feeds a lot of it.

Haha. I actually thought about posting something along the lines of "You're just mad that Southerners perfected the diner.", but I thought you might hit me.

I still may hit you for just how horribly incorrect that statement is
on the subject of diners...might I suggest the Majestic diner on Ponce if any of you are ever coming through ATL? Its got good/greasy food, 24 hr great people watching, etc.
and...if I might be so presumptuous as to suggest such a thing...could we perhaps take the debate of what a diner is/is not to another thread maybe and reserve this one for brunch? Don't want to frustrate anyone looking for brunch details. Enjoying the repartee....but it needs its own home IMHO

Since you mentioned the Majestic in Atlanta. Great place! I have a funny story about that place. On the way home from a Method Man/Redman show, we stopped to get a bite. Nice older lady takes our order, and when she gets to my friend ( a lot younger than me) he asks for a BLT, and asks if she would leave off the lettuce and tomato. She just stood there with a puzzled look on her face, then replied "no problem sweetie." Needless to say when he got his sandwich, he said "stupid b**ch forgot the burger" in a quiet voice as not for the nice old lady to hear.....got to love the McDonald's generation
This could probably go in the "Things I Learned From Previous Bonnaroos" thread, but with the recent Waffle House talk I felt it was apt to post it here. So in 2008 me and Jury went to the Waffle House close to where I was livin' the night/mornin' before we leave fer the festival. It was a rough ride to 'Roo that year. My bowels were anythin' but happy.
I would wait fer the drive home. By that point you'll already be dirty, sweaty, gross, tired, and whatever else. Plus you don't wanna get dehydrated while on The Farm!
