Waffle House to Rhode Island?

A Rhode Island man’s midnight waffle craving sparked a viral movement: Evan Masse launched a petition demanding a Waffle House in the Ocean State, amassing over 1,000 signatures—including support from a congressman and U.S. Attorney. More than just late-night comfort food, he’s championing Waffle House as an American icon that brings jobs, tourism, and reliability. With the closest location in Pennsylvania, this could be the first in New England. If the petition hits 2,000, Masse plans to formally ask the chain to open here—though they’ve yet to respond. What started as a simple craving has turned into a community rallying cry for a beloved brand. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
