Mike C. Berry original art Giclee print
''Everybody has a Waffle House story,'' a friend once told me and if you have spent anytime in the South, you've probably visited one a time or two. Waffle House is easily recognizable with its all-night glowing diner ready to fill the stomachs of breakfast goers or that late night meal with friends after the ballgame. Waffle House is truly an American icon.

The original work, Waffle House, is 12 x 16 inches and was created using soft pastels on paper. It was created for an exhibit of Recent Works at the Emporium Gallery in December of 2005. A private collector in Knoxville, Tennessee owns the original work.
