"If Waffle House is on limited menu there's probably limited resources, keep driving, and drive to the first Waffle House that's closed. It's part and parcel for a team that's been at it for 30 years, keeping employees safe and restaurants open. Waffle House 'Jump Teams' mobilize to bring extra team members, power, supplies, and general relief. So, we want to be there for them cos they're coming back to get our communities up and running," said Warner.
