There are three Waffle Houses within walking distance of the big Widget. If you really want to shine, visit all three prior to your interview. Barbeque Kitchen and Spondivits are mandatory, too.
Be extra nice to the wait staff. They know everyone and will generate referrals that could be the difference between yes and no.
Order the biscuits from the Barbeque Kitchen, do not order biscuits from the Waffle House. Nobody orders biscuits from the Waffle House. Be sure to order a waffle from the Waffle House.
