@@anantayanamandra3491 LOL... this was pretty much a weekend routine until I was nearly 40yrs old...LOL You gotta have protein after a long night of boot scootin and booze...lol
This place is consistently good the people that serve us at Waffle House are amazing. 24 7 all year long we often times build a close relationship with them and they become family. This is true. I am a Southern Man
You are absolutely correct 💯%!!! André, Waffle House 🧇🏠 stays open during Tropical Storms and most Hurricanes!!! They rarely close!! Not on menu; *3 egg ham and cheese omelette, w/ cheese grits, toast and grape jelly🍇....* 🙂🤤😋 André, there are videos on YT, recording how fast some Waffle House cooks can get orders out...🤨🫣😳
FUN FACT -- Any Americans that live in a hurricane zone down south, they check Waffle House. If Waffle House closes, they evacuate the area. If Waffle House is open, they stay home and just ride the storm out.
Bull crap that's not true thats idiotic and crazy, alcoholics might do that but normal people leave when they see how strong it is I'm 47 I have never met anyone who watches a Waffle House to decide to evacuate
How do 40 people give this thumbs up nobody in their right minds does this I live in South Carolina been through 4 hurricanes and a f4 Hugo in 1989 that had 140 mph winds no one said hey let's go see if waffle House is open Andre watch out for ridiculous comments like this
@@Majorpain32677 Never been an Evacuees, But as someone that drives in to hurricanes, I an looking to see if Waffle House an Hooters is open. Not only do I need to eat, they are a good indicator of how many locals are staying. If they are closed, the locals are all getting out. They know someone I dont, an I need to rethink staging in that town. You cant ask locals directly, they like messing with anyone that asks. Seems to be a national pass time for them. The Hotel wants us to stay, local EMAs want everyone out. So the only good indicator of local opinion ends up being Waffle House an Hooters open signs.
@@Majorpain32677If you wait until the Waffle House closes to evacuate, it's too late. FEMA does use the Waffle House Index to roughly determine the severity of the damage in an area after a storm. Google it.
A fun fact: Waffle house has its own meteorologists. Their main focus is to keep an eye on the severity of certain storms, including hurricanes. This is to tell which establishments need to be shut down or open on special terms. The general public can determine the severity of incoming storms by the informal, waffle house index. Ps. If a waffle house closes down in your town, then the storm on the way is going to be bad.
They literally have their own command and control center and have better logistics chains than a lot of countries militaries lol... He should check out a video about the Waffle House Index. Even the Federal Emergency Management Agency which handles natural disasters starts getting nervous when Waffle House shuts down or even limits its menu.
And the reason Waffle House will close at higher stakes than any other restaurant is because Waffle House can operate without electricity. They use gas to cook, the only electronic device the servers use is the register. Which can be omitted if you can do basic math.
I'm from Indiana, but have lived in Kentucky and North Carolina. I have always went to Waffle House after a night out. When the bars close you go eat at Waffle House before you go home.
Not just in the south but the most locations are in the south. Infact the government agency FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) who is responsible for helping after natural disasters such as tornadoes or hurricanes use the Waffle House index to determine how bad damage is. Because Waffle House is open 25/7 365 days a year, as well as being equipped with generators or propane to continue to operate if there's a power outage, you'll rarely ever see one closed unless it's permanent. They are the last places to close and the first to reopen after a catastrophe. So if you see a Waffle House that's normally open, closed, something awful is about to happen or already has happened. Run for the hills
I've heard that WH's policy is to open if they are able to serve anything at all, even if it's just black coffee. Seeing one closed means shit has hit the fan.
Vicksburg is my favorite Waffle House. 😋 2 states away. Waffle House is mostly breakfast food. Limited menu but they have perfected what they do. ALWAYS, ALWAYS OPEN. If Waffle House is closed everyone is dead.
Grits are like polenta just not as smooth. Grits are made from white corn ground only once so they feel rough or gritty. Polenta is grind white or yellow corn ground 3 or 4 times to make it more uniform and soft. The whole difference is in the texture. Yes, these foods are comfort foods but they also help with hangovers. The fats and grease send the liver into overdrive to digest them. This also helps the liver to synthesize the alcohol in your blood. We always have at least a hamburger before going out then hit an all-night restaurant after closing time.
The South has the BEST food and a huge variety! From Texas and Carolina BBQ, to low country shrimp and grits, all the coastal seafood, pecan pie, peach cobbler, banana pudding, New Orleans cajun creole, to my beautiful state of Kentucky filled with bourbon, hot browns, burgoo, and beer cheese, and biscuits and gravy and fried chicken and sweet tea everywhere… the South knows how to eat well!
Yep…! Back in the day, my favorite bar was within walking distance to Waffle House. We joked calling it “The Awful Waffle”, but it was perfect every time !
@@josepho7083 This comes down to location tbh. I've had amazing KFC and amazingly bad KFC. Same goes for Waffle house or any other chain. But I'm definitely biased towards waffle house, Dennys doesn't have that 3am chaotic neutral vibe like the waffle house does.
@@jdthesexpert05 Yep, I agree. If they are consistent at deep cleaning of their big flat iron griddle cooktops and they fryer vats especially. I've experienced some awful food at some Waffle Houses, but mostly they've been a good experience.
Pretty much each region has its own delicious food after a night out, but can't beat bisquits gravy eggs hashbrowns sausage bacon and pancakes/waffles.
The waffle is just a vehicle to get butter and syrup into your mouth. On a waffle that size probably 3 pats of butter, maybe 4, and about a half a cup of syrup. It should pool on the plate and drip all the way to your mouth. I had one of those type of breakfast a couple months ago and I'm still full.
Going to Waffle House at 3am means you have been drinking all night and don't care about your cholesterol. And grits are kind of like polenta; by themselves they're bland but they're a base for what you put on them: butter, cheese, shrimp, bacon, etc.
Yeah, the south is where the good foods' at. From Virginia down to Florida and over to Texas. Other areas have their charms and such but for the best food, the South is where it's at!
Ohio here ... can't beat the Waffle House ... they're not just in the South ! When you're really hungry , they're the go to , feel good , always open spot (and reasonably priced) !
I'm from New Jersey and we have Waffle House here too and I have been. It's a good "greasy spoon" sort of place that is frequented by people after a night out often so it's true. Side note= New Jersey is known as the diner capital of the world so we have a TON of 24 hour diners (less now than there used to be) that range from greasy spoon to fine dining. Most locals prefer places that fall somewhere in the middle of those 2.
Waffle houses exist all over not just in the south. Anywhere south of Washington dc, NYC, or along the east coast has one in most towns. Their staff is notorious for being willing to fight and their grilled sandwiches and bowls are fantastic. Always cover hash browns in sausage gravy. Always.
I used to work in flood insurance with FEMA(govt disaster program) and Waffle House is used to determine the severity of destruction for an area. They have generators and can operate during severe weather and after. They’re the one place that is expected to still be open after a horrible storm. Waffle houses and concrete buildings.

You have to fill every square on the waffle. I don't go to a lot of greasy spoons(slang 24hr restaurants, ie Waffle House) these days, but went a lot after watching bands plays when I was in my 20's.
In America, that was NOT enough syrup. Noah was being nice to the Europeans and told him to stop, but you see he added some more, right? Lol -Noah told them not to eat the grits cause they were actually good to him. He wanted to keep them to himself, lol.
It probably isn't pure maple syrup, but at a Waffle House, it would be really good syrup. They probably have blueberry and raspberry too. Pork sausage dipped in maple syrup is good.
I've noticed a lot of people who aren't from the US just order the food the way it comes. You can pretty much customize everything here. I've been to many Waffle Houses....soooo good. That was not enough syrup on the waffles (and I like dipping bacon in the syrup too). As with all chains, some are better than others. There's something called the Waffle House Index. If Waffle House closes, you know there will be bad weather! lol. People also go to Whataburger after a night out too.
Yes I've been there before....Waffle House is a good place to go after drinking or if you're craving breakfast at night....he was ordering alot of hashbrowns & eggs & biscuits & gravy with sausage gravy & two different kinds of sandwiches called 'melts' & two different kinds of waffles....yes you can definitely custom order by loading up everything with cheese & bacon....IHOP will blow your mind cus it doesn't just have pancakes....omg André 😱🤦♀️ that was not enough at all....waffles & pancakes are meant to be drowned in butter & syrup....sausage dipped in syrup is the best....I love extra cheesy eggs....apple butter is next level....yes it's alot but the best part is that you can take it home & have it again....grits is corn & you either love it or hate it....yes definitely it's the best comfort food even when you're sober
Waffle House isn't the very best you'll ever taste, but it's always open and whether you want breakfast, a sandwich or an entree, you can find something there to eat, and it's good.
A few years back, I had to work a night shift in the middle of nowhere Florida for a month. The fact I could get a hot dinner at the end of the shift at 7:30am at a Waffle House with no judgement was very much appreciated.
I am a 55 year old, and retired from the U.S. Army. If and when you come to the States It would be a honor to show you around, I live in Indiana, but have time to take you around to show you the Midwest.
I've never had a bad meal at a Waffle House. Everything on the menu is delicious! The birthday guy in the middle evidently had been celebrating a lot at the bar that evening, but he had presence of mind to order lots of great food for the other two guys to try. That first plate was a customized order. Also, when it comes to the grits.........lots of butter, salt and pepper will make them taste amazing. Eating them plain............no so much. lol
Native born & raised Southern Californian here. 1st Waffle House visit (& 2nd & 3rd) were ALL during a visit to South Carolina, very close to Charleston. OH, MY. Also, my 1st time trying grits. Cheese grits. Will never forget the joy. Our eldest son was in a very tough school for the US Navy, this was in 2006. Our hotel was next to a WH!!! Kind of didn't want to eat anywhere else. We had a super shy young waitress. Youngest son ordered a big breakfast, finished it, & ordered a 2nd one. The sweet young lady looked at me, for permission. I just smiled & said, "He's a teenaged boy, the food will be gone." Many visits to WH around Dallas, TX, after landing at the airport & before the 2 hour drive to visit husband's family in East Texas. I have a picture of me & my husband in WF hats -- the paper ones the staff sometimes wear -- with our arms around our server. ❤❤❤ Great coffee, too!! I've often put good quality shredded cheese in scrambled eggs for our family, before they all grew up & moved away. I have watched Josh & Ollie for years, also Gabi Kook's channel.❤
As a Canadian, my first time at a Waffle House in the south, they asked if I wanted grits. I admitted I never had it before then brought me a "free sample" and brought out a full sized bowl! Such kindness! And the grits were pretty good!
i freaking love grits... grits with butter and salt and pepper.. mmm... but when i go to waffle house.. i get a grit bowl that has bacon, grits, cheese and eggs... omg.. so good.. that is my typical to go to when i go there.
Waffle House is just a chain that serves Breakfast Food all day long. The name Waffle House was just chosen, because why not? There is very rarely a moment when there is too much syrup. Most of the time, it's never enough. I don't understand Europeans that just drizzle a little bit of syrup on their pancakes or waffles. That's like dropping a 100 lb bomb on a huge factory and believing you're gonna destroy it. You need to drench your waffles or pancakes in syrup, because that stuff soaks in pretty fast, and you need some free syrup to actually eat it.
Noah works for World Central Kitchen which you may have heard of because they always show up when there are disasters. Recently they were feeding people in Kyiv but now in Gaza.
Houston Texas here and there is no such thing as too much butter, syrup, and/or slathered, scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, topped, diced, peppered and capped at the Waffle House. The added entertainment if you are there late at night, is the icing on the cake.
Apple butter is applesauce that's cooked longer, until it caramelizes. It's often spiced with cinnamon. I prefer it without the cinnamon. It's heaven on buttered toast or in a buttered biscuit.
From Alabama. Waffle House is pretty fantastic. I don't actually care too much for sweet foods. However, when it comes to waffles, I would say that they were about half way there with the syrup. It probably could have used about another 4 tablespoons of butter as well.
I live in North Carolina in the southern US, we would have breakfast for supper occasionally (last meal of the day for you Andre). Pancakes with lots of syrup and sausages. We would dip our sausages in the syrup. In the public schools the children would have a pancake wrapped around a sausage on a stick for breakfast shaped like a corn dog. The children would smell like syrup until lunchtime which I could vouch for being a retired Art teacher.
Grits are coarsely ground corn typically maize or hominy. I associate hominy with Spanish food but I don’t know if it is only in Mexican food and Southern food
sure the south has good food. but I mean like you mentioned italians have carbonara which is equally as good, and pizza. but then again the south has tex mex and texas BBQ as well so its really hard to beat texas
Grits are a type of cornmeal made from dent corn, a less sweet variety of corn than the kind you might eat on the cob. The corn is dried and then ground, either coarsely to make traditional grits or finely to make instant grits. They can be a bit of an acquired taste for some. I don't care for them. Dent corn, also known as field corn or grain corn, is a variety of maize (Zea mays) that is primarily grown for animal feed, industrial uses, and food processing. It gets its name from the small dent or depression that forms on the kernel's crown as it dries. Sweet corn is harvested when the kernels are still tender and eaten as a vegetable, dent corn is allowed to mature on the stalk until the kernels are hard and dry. This makes it easier to store and process into various products like cornmeal, grits, flour, ethanol, and even plastics.
Food helps absorb some of the alcohol after a night of drinking. My go to was biscuits & gravy with hash browns and crispy bacon. Think of grits kind of similar to polenta. I've been to Waffle House in a few states but mostly here in Texas. They have all kinds of food not just breakfast stuff.
Cheesy scrambled, raisin toast, apple butter are my Sunday morning after church food. Waffles with hash browns and gravy and sausage are Friday night after sinning.
I've been to Waffle House _many.... many_ times. And a local diner that was the 3am spot in the town I grew up in that was much like this. I think every town, city, neighborhood, etc... has something like this for after clubbing to go to. Sit around, sober up, have some crazy salty and fatty foods... and then mosey home. It's a tradition. Arkansas and Southern Missouri.
Whenever you travel through the South, you're going to see Waffle House next to the freeway. You know, wherever you are, what you're going to get, that it'll be cheap and filling. And always open, except during hurricanes. When Waffle House is closed, stay home, it's bad. When it reopens, the storm has passed. 😊
Grits is short for hominy grits. Its ground up hominy. Hominy is corn that has been cooked in lye or other strong Alkaline to break it down to be human digestible. They expand in to popcorn like balls in the process. Its then dried in to crunchy balls. Grits is a filler food. its like rice. You eat it to get full, but the flavor comes from what you top it with. Brown sugar is my first choice, but butter is common. Shrimp an grits is also common in beach towns. Not many people like grits alone. But it was a staple food in a world were understandable corn was the main grain crop.

No, sir, that wasn't to much. You need waffles with your syrup. Not syrup with your waffles.

Every square on a waffle has to be full of syrup and melted butter.
Those little squares in the waffle are syrup holders and it's not enough until they overfill.

Yes!
The Windsor Heights Dairy Queen is a good place for you know what
He didn't put enough syrup on the waffle.
I agree!!!
His eyes when Noah poured more syrup lol. Noah went a bit light on it. Alot of americans would have told them to put a little more on.
So for waffles, the rule of thumb is you completely fill each pocked to the top with syrup and wait for it to soak in
Eat it right away don't wait for a soggy waffle.

Yes I've been there before....Waffle House is a good place to go after drinking or if you're craving breakfast at night....he was ordering alot of hashbrowns & eggs & biscuits & gravy with sausage gravy & two different kinds of sandwiches called 'melts' & two different kinds of waffles....yes you can definitely custom order by loading up everything with cheese & bacon....IHOP will blow your mind cus it doesn't just have pancakes....omg André 😱🤦♀️ that was not enough at all....waffles & pancakes are meant to be drowned in butter & syrup....sausage dipped in syrup is the best....I love extra cheesy eggs....apple butter is next level....yes it's alot but the best part is that you can take it home & have it again....grits is corn & you either love it or hate it....yes definitely it's the best comfort food even when you're sober
IHOP?
@@user-calm_salty International House of Pancakes...another chain. But they do have pancakes, obviously.
I used to work at an IHOP....
Up in Michigan and Indiana, we have IHOP or Denny's.
No not too much syrup ❤ and gotta put it on top of melted butter 😋 and down South they pronounce syrup as a one syllable word: "SURP" 😅
we sure the hell do lol
I really need to wait and watch this when I have food in front of me...these vids are killing me. :)))
Waffle House isn't the very best you'll ever taste, but it's always open and whether you want breakfast, a sandwich or an entree, you can find something there to eat, and it's good.
A few years back, I had to work a night shift in the middle of nowhere Florida for a month. The fact I could get a hot dinner at the end of the shift at 7:30am at a Waffle House with no judgement was very much appreciated.
I like both syrup and butter on my waffles, mixing the two. So good
I am a 55 year old, and retired from the U.S. Army. If and when you come to the States It would be a honor to show you around, I live in Indiana, but have time to take you around to show you the Midwest.
If it’s real maple syrup, you can never have enough!
Bahaha this one is hilarious. Noah is so drunk/zooted 😂
I've never had a bad meal at a Waffle House. Everything on the menu is delicious! The birthday guy in the middle evidently had been celebrating a lot at the bar that evening, but he had presence of mind to order lots of great food for the other two guys to try. That first plate was a customized order. Also, when it comes to the grits.........lots of butter, salt and pepper will make them taste amazing. Eating them plain............no so much. lol
Native born & raised Southern Californian here.
1st Waffle House visit (& 2nd & 3rd) were ALL during a visit to South Carolina, very close to Charleston.
OH, MY.
Also, my 1st time trying grits. Cheese grits. Will never forget the joy.
Our eldest son was in a very tough school for the US Navy, this was in 2006.
Our hotel was next to a WH!!!
Kind of didn't want to eat anywhere else.
We had a super shy young waitress. Youngest son ordered a big breakfast, finished it, & ordered a 2nd one. The sweet young lady looked at me, for permission. I just smiled & said, "He's a teenaged boy, the food will be gone."
Many visits to WH around Dallas, TX, after landing at the airport & before the 2 hour drive to visit husband's family in East Texas. I have a picture of me & my husband in WF hats -- the paper ones the staff sometimes wear -- with our arms around our server. ❤❤❤
Great coffee, too!!
I've often put good quality shredded cheese in scrambled eggs for our family, before they all grew up & moved away.
I have watched Josh & Ollie for years, also Gabi Kook's channel.❤
The waffle should be almost floating in butter and syrup.
As a Canadian, my first time at a Waffle House in the south, they asked if I wanted grits. I admitted I never had it before then brought me a "free sample" and brought out a full sized bowl! Such kindness! And the grits were pretty good!
Yeah there are so many combinations. Usually you get "your" order perfected and stick with it when you go.
A bite of sausage on top of your syrup coated waffle ( or pancake or french toast ) is the perfect bite😂
i freaking love grits... grits with butter and salt and pepper.. mmm... but when i go to waffle house.. i get a grit bowl that has bacon, grits, cheese and eggs... omg.. so good.. that is my typical to go to when i go there.
Waffle House is just a chain that serves Breakfast Food all day long. The name Waffle House was just chosen, because why not?
There is very rarely a moment when there is too much syrup. Most of the time, it's never enough. I don't understand Europeans that just drizzle a little bit of syrup on their pancakes or waffles. That's like dropping a 100 lb bomb on a huge factory and believing you're gonna destroy it. You need to drench your waffles or pancakes in syrup, because that stuff soaks in pretty fast, and you need some free syrup to actually eat it.
Grits is mainly ground corn. It is usually eaten with butter, salt, pepper and cheese.
Grits + butter + salt and pepper...yum!
Absolutely comfort food.
Breakfast is the ultimate comfort food.
Carbonara burgers are actually a thing you can get in a number of burger places in the US.
Noah works for World Central Kitchen which you may have heard of because they always show up when there are disasters. Recently they were feeding people in Kyiv but now in Gaza.
Not to mention he made a very deep run on MasterChef. Finished in the top 5 if I'm not mistaken.
Houston Texas here and there is no such thing as too much butter, syrup, and/or slathered, scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, topped, diced, peppered and capped at the Waffle House.
The added entertainment if you are there late at night, is the icing on the cake.
You're absolutely correct. We do have the best food.
Apple butter is applesauce that's cooked longer, until it caramelizes. It's often spiced with cinnamon. I prefer it without the cinnamon. It's heaven on buttered toast or in a buttered biscuit.
The best way to explain grits is oatmeal made with corn or wheat instead of oat, with the texture of creamy mashed potatoes
From Alabama. Waffle House is pretty fantastic. I don't actually care too much for sweet foods. However, when it comes to waffles, I would say that they were about half way there with the syrup. It probably could have used about another 4 tablespoons of butter as well.
U CAN FOLLOW WAFFLE HOUSES FROM LAKE ERIE OHIO
DOWN TO FLORIDA❗😲
I live in North Carolina in the southern US, we would have breakfast for supper occasionally (last meal of the day for you Andre). Pancakes with lots of syrup and sausages. We would dip our sausages in the syrup. In the public schools the children would have a pancake wrapped around a sausage on a stick for breakfast shaped like a corn dog. The children would smell like syrup until lunchtime which I could vouch for being a retired Art teacher.
Gotta get the hashbrowns. Scattered. Smothered. Covered. Chunked. Topped. And Diced.
Every area in the United States has great food. I actually love the food along the coast because I'm a seafood lover❤
Grits are coarsely ground corn typically maize or hominy. I associate hominy with Spanish food but I don’t know if it is only in Mexican food and Southern food
We have an old saying over here: Too much is never enough.
I support your dream to chow down in America with JOLLY!
ITS NOT IMPOSSIBLE!!!
sure the south has good food. but I mean like you mentioned italians have carbonara which is equally as good, and pizza. but then again the south has tex mex and texas BBQ as well so its really hard to beat texas
Grits are a type of cornmeal made from dent corn, a less sweet variety of corn than the kind you might eat on the cob. The corn is dried and then ground, either coarsely to make traditional grits or finely to make instant grits. They can be a bit of an acquired taste for some. I don't care for them.
Dent corn, also known as field corn or grain corn, is a variety of maize (Zea mays) that is primarily grown for animal feed, industrial uses, and food processing. It gets its name from the small dent or depression that forms on the kernel's crown as it dries.
Sweet corn is harvested when the kernels are still tender and eaten as a vegetable, dent corn is allowed to mature on the stalk until the kernels are hard and dry. This makes it easier to store and process into various products like cornmeal, grits, flour, ethanol, and even plastics.
Raisin cinnamon swirl bread is top tier. I can eat a whole loaf in one sitting but I usually use it to make French toast
In Georgia it's called the "Awful Waffle"
Food helps absorb some of the alcohol after a night of drinking. My go to was biscuits & gravy with hash browns and crispy bacon.
Think of grits kind of similar to polenta.
I've been to Waffle House in a few states but mostly here in Texas. They have all kinds of food not just breakfast stuff.
Grits is a porridge made with corn meal.
There is no such this as "Too much" with syrup. Waffles are the shape they are to maximize how much they can hold.
Cheesy scrambled, raisin toast, apple butter are my Sunday morning after church food. Waffles with hash browns and gravy and sausage are Friday night after sinning.
Waffle House has 1,900 locations in 25 States mostly Mid-west US and the South
Have them up north in Ohio too. Its how you soak up the alcohol in your system after the bar closes.
Andre, my town has a pizza restaurant called "Sam and Ellas!!! If you say it fast its a food bourne illness! 😂😅
It all looked delicious! Too bad about the grits, they are usually delicious especially with a fried egg with the yolk all running into them.
I've been to Waffle House _many.... many_ times. And a local diner that was the 3am spot in the town I grew up in that was much like this. I think every town, city, neighborhood, etc... has something like this for after clubbing to go to. Sit around, sober up, have some crazy salty and fatty foods... and then mosey home. It's a tradition. Arkansas and Southern Missouri.
You absolutely need to be on their next American tour
Whenever you travel through the South, you're going to see Waffle House next to the freeway. You know, wherever you are, what you're going to get, that it'll be cheap and filling. And always open, except during hurricanes. When Waffle House is closed, stay home, it's bad. When it reopens, the storm has passed. 😊
Another great reaction!! Thanks for the laughs 😂
WAFFLE HOUSE YUM 😋
& REAL MAPLE SYRUP❗
Waffle House Is Not A Home by The Gadjits is a criminally under-listened to song. Great video btw.
Grits is short for hominy grits. Its ground up hominy. Hominy is corn that has been cooked in lye or other strong Alkaline to break it down to be human digestible. They expand in to popcorn like balls in the process. Its then dried in to crunchy balls. Grits is a filler food. its like rice. You eat it to get full, but the flavor comes from what you top it with. Brown sugar is my first choice, but butter is common. Shrimp an grits is also common in beach towns. Not many people like grits alone. But it was a staple food in a world were understandable corn was the main grain crop.
I love waffles house!!! Favorite things are the smothered and covers hash browns!!
