Where else would Bubba Watson go after winning the Masters but the Waffle House? At about 1:30 in the morning, Watson, his wife Angie and several friends hit a Waffle House somewhere near Augusta National to celebrate.
You can't tell if he's wearing the green jacket in that photo, but fear not, lords of Augusta National: Bubba did not get scattered n' smothered hash browns on the revered fabric. Here's another angle from a friend:
It's reminiscent of the time in 2010 when Phil Mickelson took his kids to a nearby Krispy Kreme while wearing the green jacket:

From yesterday’s telecast, Bubba certainly got on well with Spieth, Fowler, and Kuchar.
LOL
If he didn’t go to Sconyer’s BBQ (or at least one of the other find BBQ places in and around Augusta) it is less bright than I thought.
You do NOT go to Augusta and not eat BBQ at least once, twice if you can get to Sconyer’s.
I will have to try to find that. It has a long time since I went to Augusta. There is supposedly the boshears air show at the end of the month.
I’ll bet Bojangles isn’t too happy. Bubba has a hilarious commercial out now for them! Love all the Golf Boys! Check ‘em out on You Tube! Bobby Jones is rolling in his grave!
Don’t forget they give a discount to Vets.
Here in California, Waffle House, Cracker Barrel and Dunkin’ Donuts are effectively unknown in terms of real places to eat (though Dunkin’ Donuts coffee beans are sold in California).
Sconyers is just off the Bobby Jones at Highway 25 (Peach Orchard Rd.) I think the crossroad is Winsor Springs and Sconyer’s Way.
They have limited hours (Thurs thru Saturday) or they use to.
There’s an unspoken rule that one can only go to a Waffle House between 1:00 and 4:00AM to appreciate its true greatness. (preferably near an interstate highway)
To not be there between 1:00 & 4:00AM, you are missing a truly great American dining experience, and it’s the closest thing you’ll ever see to the ‘Catina scene’ from Star Wars.
The food actually ain’t bad either - FAR better than most of the stuff you typically find at the vast majority of chain restaurants, especially for breakfast food. Most of the shit they serve at IHOP tastes like it was created in a lab somewhere, rather than cooked.
I concur on all counts.
I really like having the grits. Not many restaurants know how to make grits properly. Waffle House does.
I always know I am in friendly territory when I see a Waffle House. They are open 24 hours a day! They never close, even on Valentines Day! Which is good, because I took my wife there on Valentines Day once.
They mostly have Waffle Houses in the South. You get south of the Mason-Dixon line and there are the bulk of your Waffle Houses right there. NASCAR country. I don't watch NASCAR but I do eat at the Waffle House whenever I can.
I like the ham and cheese omelette with grits, English Muffins and TWO side orders of bacon. Now bacon goes good with just about everything - especially at the Waffle House.
Every Waffle House also has a jukebox. Go ahead, go see for yourself. Jukeboxes! And they have songs specific to Waffle House. What I mean to say is there are actually songs written ABOUT the Waffle House. Dozens of songs actually. Songs like "I'm Going Back to the Waffle House" and "Waffle Do Wop". I'm not kidding. "Waffle House For You And Me" and "They're Cooking Up My Order." Go ahead, put some quarters in the jukebox and play some of those songs next time you go there for breakfast. Or lunch. Or Dinner. Or just to hang out and drink coffee. Which I have done myself a time or two.
Of the joints you brought up, only the Waffle House, and Chick fil’A are the kinds of places you’d never feel weird about taking your family.
Not that Dunkin’ and Cracker are skeevie, they have simply decided to serve up politics with their meals.
With Chick fil’A, their troubles started when someone criticized them about being closed on Sundays. That’s when their CEO got pulled into it. (Good for him for sticking to his guns - his business increased substantially and he got millions of free advertising).
Too bad the BSA decided to buckle. Their business is off 25% in Tiger Cubs, and 10 percent over all.
Dip$hits.
