There is no other full-length analysis of Waffle House that focuses on its representation of the southern experience. Matejowsky positions the chain within the context of the southern imaginary to give an original take on a well-known brand. This book will interest academics because it fits within a broader trend in the scholarship that explores restaurants from a historical and contemporary perspective. But it will also delight a more general audience because of its entertaining take on a familiar regional institution. --Angela Jill Cooley, author of To Live and Dine in Dixie: The Evolution of Food Culture in the Jim Crow South
