85. Down here in Florida

They are called the Huddle House. I would venture it's to Waffle House as what Hardee's is to Carl's Jr.

From the looks of Google mapsthough, it seems that the WH is now invaded Florida. All down I-75, lots in Orlando and other cities and towns.

After I retired I moved from Florida to Tennessee (yea I know. I did it bass akwards) when I left Florida I could never find a WH, it was all HH. I'm actually in Orlando for a Dr's appointment for my son, and they are all over now.

It's like Walmart went into the restaurant business. JonathanRackham Apr 2016 #1
