I like Waffle House.
I was waiting on a client at a fixed base operator air strip one day when Bert landed and was walking thru the waiting room.
I recognized ol Bert (who wasn't our client) from this picture that hangs on every Waffle House wall:
He was in normal civilian business attire but I couldn't help myself; I blurted out
"You're Bert... man you run a great operation" He stopped dead in his tracks, composed himself and replied
"you are too kind" and with that his handler reached in to his jacket pocket and grabbed a bunch of *Bert Dollars* for us to use on our next visit.
:-)
My colleagues looked at me and said
"how'd you do that? How'd you recognize him?" and I replied
"Dude, that's Bert... he makes the chili." http://wafflehouse.com/me...ffle-house-berts-chili Good times.
