Practical method of assessing the landscape from a very simple baseline. Although it doesn't have to be a "Waffle House" event but it works the same in a lot of areas.

Donut shop coordination points for restoration of power and telecom (The crews hit the closest place to get coffee and some gut-bombs... determine what areas the power guys are going to restore and the telco guys follow...)

Best thing about eating at a Waffle House is you can look out the window and see another Waffle House.

So there's no waffling about what to do next.

Hey, give 'em credit
I'm certain that their modern web-enabled CONUS Resource & Recovery Assessment Program (CRRAP) came in wayyyyy under budget.
You can check it out here.

Do the Waffle House restaurants serve fried chicken with their waffles like Roscoe's?

Don't know about the South, but out here it's steaks and chops. I think they do have grilled chicken, though.
