Find the Best Food After Midnight
The fast food places are a good pick for after midnight. Though most of them won’t keep their dining room open this late, the drive-through is usually still going full-tilt. Wendy’s and McDonald’s in particular are keeping their locations open into the wee hours of the morning. This isn’t as easy to find in a smaller town, though, where the likelihood of someone dropping in at this time isn’t good enough to justify the electrical bill. If you have the option, look for food in a bigger town.
Waffle Houses and Huddle Houses are sure-hits. This is where you’ll find the majority of that rambunctious crowd I was telling you about. These places serve up the grease like nobody else. Nothing here is good for you but it’s all delicious and rolling in calories. Their omelets are my favorite and try as I might I can’t duplicate them at home. They also serve dinner and breakfast food at all hours, so whatever you want is yours.
From burgers to spaghetti, from meatloaf with mashed potatoes to pancakes with syrup, the choice is yours. The bill is usually very reasonable, as well, and their coffee doesn’t stop flowing. All of this is terrific news for the people who got just a little too tipsy for their own good. The carbohydrates and fat will set you back to rights before you go to bed, and tomorrow you will awake refreshed.
Every now and then you’ll find a mom and pop place that stays open late, but then again it will usually only be in a big town. The food will be rustic and plentiful, though quite often not a bit fresh or home-made. Don’t let those smiling faces fool you. More often than not everything coming out of that kitchen was made just for you in a microwave. But if you’re desperate, or know that the restaurant has a good reputation, give it a go.
