Melvin's Chicken 'n Waffles, 6301 Shakespeare Road: 2012 7 comments
This is the follow-on operation to Carolina Famous Hotdogs & Wings (though curiously, Ihave that one at 6303 Shakeespeare), and was one of a number of Chicken & Waffle restaurants opening in Columbia last year. That's certainly a trend that seemed to come out of nowhere for me. I'd gone my whole life without hearing about that particular food combination, and suddenly I seemed to hear about it a couple of times a week. It almost sounds like a punchline. "Why did the chicken cross the road? To get a waffle.."
Waffle House, 1805 Bush River Road: late December 2011 3 comments
You know, I don't think I've ever seen a Waffle House go under -- until now.
I actually had this Waffle House in my sights for several years. Due to the way it was situated, I thought it would make a good subject for a Nighthawks type picture. In the event, I never got around to it. (For one thing, the best place to set up would be the gas station across the street, which is also 24 hours, and probably would have gotten me some pointed looks at best).
I suppose this does help with directions though:
"Take the only Interstate exit without a Waffle House.."
