051 – a true mystery
i went to waffle house last night for a midnight treat. of course, i ordered my waffle house favorite, cheese grits. but last night, i decided to really reward myself with something extra: a biscuit. after i ordered and the waffle house woman (?) left my table, i glanced at the menu and noticed that the biscuit i just ordered cost $1.00, but directly under that were the words “Sausage Biscuit – $1.00”. so that’s free breakfast meat, right? can’t pass that up. if you’ve ever been to waffle house you know what a gamble my next move was. i flagged down the waiter. or was it waitress? that’s irrelevant. kind of. but i asked her (?) if indeed the sausage biscuit was the same price as a biscuit…and turns out that waffle house does give out free breakfast meat! so now my ordered had changed…which again is a dangerous action at waffle house. but sure enough, i received my meal:
but the true mystery is this: why is that pickle on my plate?
fall out of line 
it’s a love note from your waiteress. be thankful.
It is actually Just part of a simple marking system in which the cook places certain food and condiment items in certain positions on the plate to let them know what goes there. so that sallys hashbrowns dont go out with franks Burger while she gets his grits…
