Kennebrew was a bartender, club promoter and co-owner of Fatso's Pub in Gary. She came to Indianapolis during the NBA All-Star weekend for a party at a club on the northwest side of the city.
But this privately-owned company doesn't make it easy to get in the backdoor. In 2016, the now-retired Waffle House chairman had said to the outlet that the list of folks trying to break into franchising with the company is "very long and very distinguished." At the end of her video, Halie said she has not eaten Waffle House in about eight months, and that was about to change.

Every Sunday, a group of volunteers descend on the river community and bring food, Augusto said, but he cannot recall the church they’re affiliated with or if they are local to the neighborhood. Waffle House has also garnered a reputation for being a hotbed of absolute insanity. Finally, fed up with their disrespect, she refused to cook for the group and invited them to leave.
The chaos documented was always bound to take its place in the extensive lore of a storied chain of 24-hour restaurants dotting the highways of the American South. Yet this time, fight footage elevated one participant to mythic status, leading to an explosion of awestruck headlines, memes, fan art, and commendations from some surprising places. Founded in 1955, the first Waffle House was just a tiny rectangular box; it has since grown to a chain of 2,000 restaurants, mostly in the South, that serve up grits, hash browns, and of course waffles, all day and all night. Luke Burbank talks with the customers who come at all hours to sample the Waffle House's menu that Atlanta Magazine food critic Mara Shaloup calls "meats and starch and sugar and butter and grease and everything that's comforting and wonderful."
‘I don’t think it’s too much’: Waffle House workers push for $25 an hour
Even without official New Year’s resolutions, it’s fair to say that most of us enter January with the urge to improve and take control of our lives. Maybe that’s why, on the eve of 2023, we were so enamored of a Waffle House cook who stood tall in a melee with raging customers, as seen in video that revealed how harrowing a roadside diner’s overnight shift can be. On Nov. 8, a coalition of Waffle House workers and supporters delivered nearly 13,000 signed petitions from Waffle House workers, service workers and other allies to Waffle House’s headquarters in Norcross, Georgia. Workers also explained the security issues they face working the third shift, where customers are often intoxicated and violence in the restaurant between customers or directed at workers has occurred and fights at the chain have often gone viral. Last week, "Waffle House" was trending on Twitter after a video of the employee catching and slapping down a chair during a brawl at one of the chain’s restaurants.

Aispuro, who has been with the department for 19½ years, put out an emergency broadcast that included a description of the Camry, Luna said.

As Hurricane Ian makes landfall, chain shutters 21 restaurants in evacuation zones and low-lying areas across the state. The storm will cause "catastrophic storm surge, winds and flooding" in the areas in its path soon, it added.
The storm is expected to slow down after landfall, moving at only 6 to 7 mph and taking more than 24 hours to move across Florida. Tropical-storm-force winds spread also across more than 320 miles, a distance that would reach from Washington, DC, to Cleveland, Ohio. Hurricane Charley, also a Category 4, hit the same area in 2004 and brought a max of 6 to 7 feet of storm surge. Hurricane Ian underwent another bout of rapid Intensification in the past 24 hours, with its top-end winds increasing by 40 mph (from 115 to 155 mph) in about 16 hours.

Seven homeless Angelenos sued the city after their belongings were destroyed during encampment sweeps in 2018 and 2019, according to their lawsuit. A federal judge recently ruled that the city altered evidence to support the its defense in the lawsuit and will probably face sanctions. Augusto’s shelter has stood for at least four years, but he does not recall anyone from the city visiting in the last several days and has not had any issues with officials trying to move him out of his spot. Still, he knows that other unhoused residents lost their temporary shelters when the city conducted encampment sweeps.
The chain already announced Tuesday that it had closed 11 locations in mandatory evacuation zones in south Florida. According to WSB-TV, Waffle House employee Gerald Green has worked at the food chain for about seven years. As a “Rockstar cook,” he is the highest-level cook outside management – but he doesn’t feel his hourly pay reflects that. Employees also want Waffle House to stop taking mandatory meal deductions, close during extreme weather conditions and have 24-hour security for all restaurants. He also cited issues with scheduling systems that are inconsistent and often incorrect, including former workers still getting scheduled, issues with general cleanliness, and a lack of general respect for workers. As a cook, Green makes around $17 an hour, but many Waffle House workers work sub-minimum wages as servers, relying on tips.
CHP officers apprehended Raymundo Duran, 47, Monday evening on suspicion of driving under the influence and possession of a loaded firearm at a San Onofre inspection point in a silver Toyota Camry. Investigators connected Duran to the West Covina shooting after initially booking him as a suspected drunk driver, Luna said. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said Tuesday that California Highway Patrol officers had arrested a gang member in San Onofre who shot a deputy in the back as he sat on his department motorcycle at a West Covina stoplight.

Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Waffle House is famed for more than just its all-day breakfast. The restaurant chain’s preparedness for natural disasters, which allows its locations to stay open throughout weather crises or open shortly after, has earned it a storm distinction with FEMA. One video posted on social media shows a fight between multiple people, one appearing to be one of the victims. While it’s not clear what the fight was about, we know gunshots rang out after. With over 19,000 locations and counting — most of which are in the south — Waffle House proudly says that it is in 25 states and is open 24 hours, seven days a week.
