Ten Reasons Minnesota does not need Waffle House restaurants.

1. Does a restaurant still meet the Indoor Air law when the back door is always propped open and the staff stands with one foot in the door smoking?

2. Most people find it unappetizing when the table is covered in a perpetual film of syrup and butter.

3. The yellow and black Waffle House paper hats are not even remotely attractive.

4. Haven't you ever wondered why there are never any stray cats or even birds hanging out in the Waffle House parking lot?

5. If you can get three eggs, sausage, a biscuit and gravy for $3.29 you have to wonder how much the disgruntled employees are making. Is it enough to compel them not to spit in your food when you point out that it is dangerously undercooked and have it sent back to the kitchen?

6. GRITS. Any restaurant worth it's salt should serve hashbrowns. No one in their right mind actually likes grits.

7. Minnesota has Perkins.

8. Minnesota has Embers.

9. Minnesota has Denny's.

10. Minnesota has lots of other great family owned restaurants that serve breakfast... not like in the South where all you have are dirty, greasy family owned knockoffs of Waffle House with a breakfast buffet in the front entry.
