Ten years ago who would have thought a book about Waffle House would enjoy so much success? I guess there is something about hanging out under the random flicker of the big yellow sign that never loses its allure to late night drinkers and early morning recovering alcoholics. Hell, you may even come in one midnight as the former, and leave the next morning as the latter! Sarcasm has the high seat when it comes to life's highlights. I use to say that God took a back seat to sarcasm ages ago, but how can that even be said without a little bit of sarcastic twang dripping from the end of the sentence? Way down here, under the big yellow sign, we have seen all types of coming's and going's. Everyone moving, quickly back and forth from their where to's and their gotta get done's. Being in the middle of such riddle, I suppose, is what sets us apart. 'Location, location, location' the saying goes, and where better to be but right smack in the middle of where ever it is you've been and where it is you're going? Irony is a word used in the English language to describe something that explains its opposite, but at Waffle House there's no room for irony, here! Only good old fashioned, pure, straight down to the bone sarcasm is accepted here, and don't ya'll forget it! All too often, the drama that frequents our daily life, under the big yellow sign, is referred to as a spin-off of the world-renowned soap opera 'As the World Turns'. So, in our little yellow book, now updated under the big yellow sign, you will find updated stereotypical definitions of our regular customers from around the nation, a few tragic tales, reminiscent and inspired by long-term customers, philosophy from the Waffle House guru, and of course, a section chock full of jokes. If you are in need of enlightenment, a good meal, or simply a laugh, pour yourself into a booth at your nearest Waffle House, crack open these texts to a random story, and enjoy a world famous waffle under the big yellow sign 'As The Waffle Burns'.

A critical meditation of the iconic 24-7 roadside chain and its place in the southern imaginary Waffle House has long been touted as an icon of the American South. The restaurant’s consistent foregrounding as a resonant symbol of regional character proves relevant for understanding much about the people, events, and foodways shaping the sociopolitical contours of today’s Bible Belt. Whether approached as a comedic punchline on the Internet, television, and other popular media or elevated as a genuine touchstone of messy American modernity, Waffle House, its employees, and everyday clientele do much to transcend such one-dimensional characterizations, earning distinction in ways that regularly go unsung. Smothered and Covered: Waffle House and the Southern Imaginary is the first book to socioculturally assess the chain within the field of contemporary food studies. In this groundbreaking work, Ty Matejowsky argues that Waffle House’s often beleaguered public persona is informed by various complexities and contradictions. Critically unpacking the iconic eatery from a less reductive perspective offers readers a more realistic and nuanced portrait of Waffle House, shedding light on how it both reflects and influences a prevailing southern imaginary—an amorphous and sometimes conflicting collection of images, ideas, attitudes, practices, linguistic accents, histories, and fantasies that frames understandings about a vibrant if also paradoxical geographic region. Matejowsky discusses Waffle House’s roots in established southern foodways and traces the chain’s development from a lunch-counter restaurant that emerged across the South. He also considers Waffle House’s place in American and southern popular culture, highlighting its myriad depictions in music, television, film, fiction, stand-up comedy, and sports. Altogether, Matejowsky deftly and persuasively demonstrates how Waffle House serves as a microcosm of today’s South with all the accolades and criticisms this distinction entails.

Reflections on topics from war and crime to pop culture, in “a stunning collection . . . from the best essayist of his generation” (The New York Times). For more than two decades, Andrew O’Hagan has been publishing celebrated essays on both sides of the Atlantic. The Atlantic Ocean highlights the best of his clear-eyed, brilliant work, including his first published essay, a reminiscence of his working-class Scottish upbringing; an extraordinary piece about the lives of two soldiers, one English, one American, both of whom died in Iraq on May 2, 2005; and a piercing examination of the life of William Styron. O’Hagan’s subjects range from the rise of the tabloids to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, from the trajectory of the Beatles to the impossibility of not fancying Marilyn Monroe—in essays that are “stupendously unflinching, bursting with possibility” (Booklist, starred review). “A brilliant essayist, [O’Hagan] constructs sentences that pierce like pinpricks.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
