Title: Interesting thing.....Waffle House Opened In 1955
Post by: Vince G, CSN MFT on June 20, 2015, 09:07:55 PM
For everyone that says that the Waffle House is unhealthy, consider that the founders Joe Rogers Sr. and Tom Forkner are still alive and still eat at the restaurants.  Tom Forkner still plays golf and visits the office at the age of 97.  


Sort of like the guy who invented Ramen Noodles lived to be 96.  Things that make you go hmmmm.... ;D  To make this bodybuilding related.  Waffle House does serve egg whites now

they got really rich and could afford really good health care.  Plus the type of people focused enough to build amazing things often take good care of their bodies and are just built for success.  and some just get lucky with age.  Average age is 70, so for every fat diabetic that keels over at 50, there's a dude who drank whiskey and smoked 2 packs a day that lives to be 90.

I've heard people say Waffle Houses are unsanitary and disgusting but I haven't heard anything about unhealthy.  It's all basic breakfast and burgers right Vince?

So was Dave Thomas from Wendys, the guys from McDonalds, etc....and they are dead.  I think its because Waffle House is diner food and not fast food.  I mean BOTH founders are still alive and are pretty active.

Yes but you can get a Steak, egg whites, a salad and coffee for way less than what you would pay for a Bob Bowl at the Firehouse.  Plus you can get it 24/7

And at almost every 15 mile interval off of highways throughout the south.

Side note weren't Wendy's and McDonald's also established as diners? Did convenience lead them to become fast food or was it a purely financial decision?

Steve Jobs also died early, the question we should all be asking ourselves is was it Ipod, Ipad or IPhone related?  Because Bill Gates is still breathing. ...
