Condiment codes of the Waffle House kitchens

Cory Doctorow 10:33 am Tue Mar 6, 2007

Adam sez, "I was sitting in at the high-bar at a Waffle House this morning and
discovered something intriguing as I watched the short-order cook prepare
orders.

"They communicate with condiments.

"I noticed how the pack of jelly was in different locations on the plates in
the queue and then realized the waitresses hadn't said a word to the chef
all morning. After a little digging around, I found this flickr image of
the grill cheat sheet explaining exactly what condiment means what and how
to arrange them on a plate to indicate a specific order."
