Its empire now spans across a full half of the 50 continental states, and though it’s concentrated in the South, Waffle Houses can be found as far north as Ohio and as far west as Arizona. The company began franchising in 1960 and in the beginning grew slowly, but expansion picked up in the ’70s and ’80s. The original Waffle House is now a museum.

Co-founder Forkner once explained how he and Rogers, who were neighbors, started the chain: “He said, ‘You build a restaurant and I’ll show you how to run it.’” They named it Waffle House because waffles were the most profitable menu item (and therefore, what they most wanted customers to order). The vision: combine fast food, available 24 hours a day, with table service. The first Waffle House made its debut in 1955 in the Atlanta suburb of Avondale Estates. Here now, a look back at the legend, and for fans near and far, everything you need to know about Waffle House. The chain, which claims to have sold its billionth waffle sometime in 2015, recently saw both of its founders, Tom Forkner and Joe Rogers Sr., die within just two months of one another. The chain has inspired numerous books, including a first-person narrative from a former line cook titled As the Waffle Burns as well as one by a pastor called - naturally - The Gospel According to Waffle House.

Is it the cheap prices? The no-frills atmosphere? Those illustrious hash browns that somehow taste better when you’re intoxicated? The waitresses that inevitably call you “honey”? Likely some combination of all of the above, plus a little bit of that inexplicable Southern diner magic - call it the Waffle House je ne sais quoi. Slinging humble breakfast fare around the clock, Waffle House inspires deep and unyielding loyalty in diners like few restaurant chains ( except maybe Whataburger) can. Since its founding in Atlanta some 60 years ago, the restaurant has been elevated to cultural touchstone, now sprawling across 25 U.S. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything.No 24-hour diner chain inspires quite the same cult following as Waffle House. “It’s been remarkable being able to live the lifestyle of a student-athlete at Georgia Tech,” Hughes said. One of his top memories is taking a mission trip with Georgia Tech’s FCA to Puerto Rico, a baseball-rich culture, before Christmas one year. On top of pitching in the ACC and earning a college diploma, Hughes has also enjoyed the student-athlete experience in Atlanta. Regardless of what happens in the draft, Hughes is resolute that he’s become better through his time at Georgia Tech, while the option for another year is still on the table. He will now await the results of the draft next month to see if he will play for the team co-owned by Gainesville High graduate Micah Owings with its season slated to begin July 1 with home games to be played at Ivey-Watson Field. Hughes was originally slated to play this summer with the Gainesville Braves. Then, he spent the summer of 2018 playing in the Coastal Plains League, followed by another sharp performance in the summer of 2019 with the Hyannis Harbor Hawks in the Cape Cod League. First, he did a stint in the Sunbelt League, which he considered more of a rehabilitation trip. Some of his biggest strides came during the summer months. However, Hughes did struggle once back on the mound in 20.

Since he was a kid, he’s dreamed of being a pro ball player.
His last full season on the bump for Georgia Tech was a good one, in 2019, appearing in 26 games out of the bullpen and tied for its team-high with nine victories. “Really doing everything I can to stay sharp.” “I’m just trying to work up a good lather throwing the ball,” said Hughes, who since he was a kid has gone by the nickname Jon Boy. Mainly, it’s to keep his form crisp and body in shape, rather than a stringent pitch count. Hughes has continued his throwing sessions away from Georgia Tech’s campus. Hughes’ go-to is still a fastball that clocks in the mid 90s on the radar gun, but he has become adept at throwing the changeup to get hitters out. He remains a tantalizing prospect for pro scouts, now working with a five-pitch arsenal on the mound. He said it’s still one of the best decisions he’s made, learning from some of the best teachers in baseball with the Yellow Jackets and playing high-level summer ball along the way. Out of high school, Hughes was a second-round pick by the Baltimore Orioles in 2015 but made the decision to attend Georgia Tech.
