LOOK: How Many Waffle Houses Are in Each State?

There's no place like home-- and there's certainly no place like Waffle House, the iconic diner chain known for its late-night antics, jukebox jams, and All-Star Special the late Anthony Bourdain once proudly proclaimed is "better than the French Laundry."

Don't believe us? FEMA has a blog post outlining its use of the fabled "Waffle House Index."
