Spread, Topped, Covered, Smothered and More
It is good to be in the old South again. [I graduated from the University of Chattanooga, Tennessee} “Down here there is the Krystal with mini hamburger specials, and, Oh yes, of course The Waffle House”, t he young man at the counter tells me. These are fast food joints Dixie style!
So when a number of patrons at The Waffle House simply said “spread, topped, covered and smothered”, I was not only confused but curious. It seems that in this neck of the woods [As Weatherman Al Rocker would say] this garbled language refers to how you want your brown potatoes- spread em out, pour a healthy portion of melted cheese and fried onions on top, and make sure there is plenty of room for ketchup, that is assuming you do not prefer mayonnaise to round off this delight.
