I first discovered Waffle House a few years ago on a road trip from New Orleans to New York. It's basically fast food with breakfast dishes which, is like, the best combo ever.

That also means there's plenty of unhealthy food on the menu. But what's the absolute worst thing you can order there? One employee revealed the answer to that---> 

Waffle House hashbrowns

According to this employee who wrote in on Reddit, the hashbrowns are a no-no. BUT THEY'RE DRIPPING IN OIL AND CRUNCHY AND SO GOOD.

He says, "I did a few month stint at Waffle House (I know, not traditional fast food, but it was fast-ish food). Hashbrowns, hands-down. Everything else we cooked was fresh-ish, like all the meat and toppings were real, but the hashbrowns…they came dehydrated in a carton. During prep we’d have to fill it to a specific line with water and let them soak for a few hours."

 

OK, ya, we'll just have to pass on those next time we hit up Waffle House.
