Waffle House Museum opens near Hotlanta!

Jen sent this piece of diner-y news.

The museum is located on "the site of the original Waffle House which opened on East College Avenue in Avondale Estates."

Details and a slideshow are online. In the pictures it seems there's not a lot of difference between an actual Waffle House and the museum, but then again I've only been to Waffle House once.

Story in The Atlanta-Journal Constitution

This seems to be the official website.

However if you want to visit the first story says, "The museum will only be open on special occasions and for corporate events. "

So what if it is open? You can look forward to this: "there was no hoopla when the first Waffle House opened in 1955. That made planning the exhibits a challenge.
“They didn’t save much of anything,” said Waffle House communications director Pat Warner."
