Regular, smothered. Greasy bad-for-you goodness every time.
Well, here is the thing: All the way sounds like the way to go, but the chili and sausage gravy aren’t gonna go together.
So, give me two plates, with All the way, except one deletes the chili and the other deletes the gravy.
Does this make sense?
You know, I always assumed “All The Way” meant one of the two. But no, they actually do put both.
Gross.

The Bloodhound Gang prefers their hashbrowns covered and smothered. I simply prefer mine scattered.
Yep! That’s the Waffle House where I ate from age 5 to age 15. I’m not really sure when WH began to franchise out, because that’s the only one I ever went to!
By the time you get to the Toledo exits, you’re so damn sick of Flat Ohio (which begins a little east of Sandusky) the driving mindset has become “we’re not stopping this fucking car until we get to the Loop.”
I have never been tempted to exit, head north, and view the manifold delights of Toledo.

I love Waffle House hash browns! Therefore, I never add anything to them.
I’ve tried them Covered, and I’ve tried them Chunked, and in each case the extra ingredient only took away from that great greasy potato taste rather than enhancing it.
So, Large, Scattered is my order. A little sprinkle of salt, and mixed with any yolk runoff from my over-easy eggs… Mmmmm!
(I might try Smothered one of these days, but I’ll only like it if they really caramelize the onions. I’m not hopeful.)
Understood, but there literally is one like a quarter mile or so off i80 at US20/Reynolds Road. It’s about as close to the highway exit as you can get. So you have another option if you want to power through it. Then another four hours or so to Chicago.
QFT. Plus if you ask for butter, they look at you like, “Who puts butter on a waffle?”
To be honest, I never got the butter on pancakes or waffles thing, either. We always just did syrup here.
Smothered, covered, and capped.
Same for me; growing up we never put butter on pancakes or waffles. My family just didn’t do that, and we didn’t eat out much, especially for breakfast, so I never really watched other people eat pancakes, either. Seems like a one-or-the-other type thing to me. Using both is bizarre. I’d never come up with that on my own.
And yes, I have tried it, and I’ve found it a strange combination. Granted, I think pancakes suck to begin with, but it’s equally odd on waffles, which I do like.
We have the same tastes. I can live life without pancakes. Not a fan. I make them all the time, the kids love 'em, my wife eats 'em. The local breakfast place shoves a plate of three at you as a side no matter what you order. Not for me. But waffles? Now we’re talking.
My first memories of associating butter with pancakes is from cartoons, specifically, this Chilly Willy episode.
