Sees #wafflehouse is trending...has no idea why.

Well, time to share a story. Let me tell you how our favorite "crazy" cook at our favorite Waffle House ended up being convicted for MURDERERING A CUSTOMER.

So back in high school, the crew used to hang out at Waffle House. Cause that's about one of the only places teenage kids could hang out at 1am in the midwest.

Plus, dem Hashbrowns (Scattered, smothered, covered, Fight Me)

We end up being regulars after a few months of this. Eventually, we came to know one of the cooks. Charles.

Or Crazy Charles as we called him.

Dude was obviously not all there. He'd say the weirdest stuff. But he'd also give us free food. And we were broke teens. So cool.

Then one day, he did something exceptionally weird.

He asked us if we were up to eat something "special". And it would be free.

Umm...fuck yea, said the hungry, broke-ass teens.

Then after about 15 minutes..he brings it over.

It was a Texas cheesesteak. Or rather, 12 or so of them cooked and stacked on top of each other like pancakes.

Literally had grease dripping down the side like gross syrup.

And the grin he had while he tried to get us to eat it was.....disturbing.

Ever been a moment where you realize someone isn't playing crazy, but ACTUALLY crazy.

Runaway for your life crazy?

Well, I have. And that was that moment. I was pretty down with the whole thing and Crazy Charles shtick. I didn't go back for a little awhile.

Then I graduate, move off to college and don't think twice about it. Well, until a dear friend sends me a Facebook message.

"Hey remember that Crazy Cook from the Waffle House everyone hung out at?"

"Haha, yea, haven't thought about that forever, why?"

"Well...check the paper"

Me: *checks paper*

Also Me: I KNEW HE WAS CRAZY. WTF.

So yea. #wafflehouse ya'll.

Good food. Scary people.
