"There's a line out the door at your favorite steakhouse on a Friday night, per usual. Reservations booked up weeks ago, and no matter how badly you're craving a thick piece of meat, you're not getting a seat at those white-linen tables any time soon. Your dream of picking up a steak knife doesn't need to be entirely squashed, though."
"In 2011, Waffle House put out (of all things) a Facebook status claiming to be the "world's leading server of T-bone steaks," which is a steak best served grilled, according to our guide to different cuts of steak. When you consider the fact that Waffle House is one of the only restaurants open so late (or often open all night) serving any kind of steak, sure, this claim doesn't seem all too outlandish."
"Originally introduced in the 1960s, not long after the pecan waffle hit menus (aka the Waffle House order that won over Anthony Bourdain), Waffle House rolled out T-bone steaks almost by accident. For forty years, the T-bone steak became a fan favorite at the breakfast joint, until an announcement came abruptly in 2012 with an official press release that announced the departure of the steak."
Waffle House serves T-bone steaks and positioned itself as a prominent late-night steak option. In 2011, Waffle House posted a Facebook status claiming to be the "world's leading server of T-bone steaks." The same post announced a T-bone steak retirement that did not occur. T-bone steaks were introduced at Waffle House in the 1960s and became a fan favorite over forty years. In 2012, an official press release announced the T-bone's departure, followed by a yearlong "farewell tour," yet the T-bone continued to appear on menus, prompting customer speculation about the departure announcement.
