Best Mainstream breakfast restaurant?

Waffle stop is still operating. On the 5 corners intersection. I’m guessing that’s what @ISUTex was thinking of.
A special award for objectionable taste goes to Lincoln's Waffle Shop across from Ford's Theater in DC.
While it’s nothing special, it is more food, better, and cheaper than McDonalds. When I was working in the Bay Area, my hotel was across the street from an In&Out. There was a line from 10am to midnight, typically backed well into the street.
When I make the trip back to Iowa, I'm struck by the size and eating habits of the people.
The MS comparison seems a little hyperbolic.
Iowa is far from perfect, but Mississippi is a verifiable sh!thole
Lol. Are you new to America? This isn't unique to Iowa. It's a feed trough mentality in about 90% of the country, almost entirely true in the midwest and south.
That's because we're from the Midwest, where size of the proportion, is right behind how it tastes and smells. The feeling is simple, "I am willing to pay you for food, I expect to walk out of here not feeling hungry." If I wanted to eat and still be hungry, I would be eating French food.
I voted for Cracker Barrel, love their breakfast menu and the wife likes to shop in the store in the front, good food at a decent price, and now they even serve beer.
I’ve got an aunt in Sacramento. I can promise you there’s fat people in California too.
Agree, fat people everywhere. Looking at the latest rankings, the top 8 most overweight/obese states start with West Virginia and then it's all the deep south... Miss, Ark, Kent, Tenn, S Car, Louis, Ala. Iowa's not too bad coming in at #11.
Always figured the upper Midwest would be the top. Hard to get much exercise in when it’s 10 below, blowing winds and snowing. I know I slim down during the summer even without trying.
This is part of why I opt for shoveling instead of a snowblower, pretty good winter exercise.
I was at O'Hare with some work acquaintances from France once, and I'll never forget how much they were struck by the size of our cups of coffee, to them even the medium sized cup looked huge.
They've actually found a link between cold weather and weight loss
You Asked: Is Being Cold Good for You?
It burns calories. But chilling out carries some risks as well.
If it was only warmer weather that made you lose weight, the South wouldn't be the diabeetus belt
I live in a healthy state. The other state I visit most often is Iowa. It can be jarring to see how many obese people are filling up their 32 oz Mountain Dews when I go back home. I understand it's not unique to Iowa. That doesn't mean it isn't an issue in the state.
"There are fat people everywhere" lol. Yeah, there's just a lot more in the south and the midwest.
You're in Washington, right? I'd say you live in a "healthier" state. Iowa's obesity rate is around 34%. Washington's is around 28%.
As a region, no doubt the midwest and south are embarrassingly ahead of the pack.
Ah, my bad, yes probably the healthiest state. What's surprising is that there isn't a single U.S. state that has an obesity rate less than 20%. That's obese, not just overweight. Unreal.
