MMM-Museum

I live near a historic landmark. It's called the Waffle House Museum.  It still makes me chuckle a little when I tell people, but it's true. A few weekends ago, they were recognized by the historical society and a camera crew was out here for the sign's unveiling.

There are two halves to the building; one is a museum with memorabilia from the early days, and the other is the original Waffle House that opened around 1955. For this special occasion, the founders Joe and Tom were there signing autographs and speaking with the visitors. We were able to explore the restaurant side and see the way everything was set up in the 50's, including the menu. But alas, they will only serve you plastic food these days! It is only for show. :) 

They actually haven't changed too much over the years, but I loved seeing the little characteristics that came and went since the 50's, as well as meeting the founding men and women.

Mmm...plastic!

...Yes, made in Taiwan actually! (My, how do they manage to keep it so fresh?)

Originally, the servers placed these tickets at each table setting. There were no booths at the time, all the seating was around the counter.
