Could the Executive Lounge at the Hilton offer Waffle House menu items for breakfast?

We had a service in college where you could have someone pick up WH for you instead of driving the four miles up the road to the nearest one.

Of course, that would totally destroy the WH experience.

Very true. Regardless of how good the Waffle House food would be served in the Hilton Executive Lounge, nothing can replace the intimate atmosphere of dining in the Waffle House.

I hope the WH DO will be while I'm at the DO. Even though I lived in Little Rock for a while, and there was a WH that I drove past every day on my way to work, I never ate there.

I am a WH virgin.

Yeah, I very much like their bathrooms, although when I first saw the shower I almost wondered whether I had a handicapped room. However, the rest of the room--I had an upgrade to an executive suite or something--wasn't so impressive.

The few less-than-impressive components:

$45 per day for parking
Diamond non-point amenity isn't food and beverage, it's food or beverage (I asked multiple times)
Diamond breakfast on weekend was tiny - entree choices were eggs / meat or fruit or baked goods

The room was absolutely fantastic.

I thought it was a shame that the renovations didn't include the swimming pool, which seemed small, unattractive, and in a strange location. I only swim when the pool looks better than mine at home.

Actually, it's much more important to know how to turn it OFF or at least how to kill the ringer when appropriate.

Doesn't this failing cause problems in your job or can you avoid any math except for integers? I could imagine some interesting situations if you rinse and repeat on that pesky decimal point. Does your employer recognize Roman numerals? How can you be sure that the paycheck is correct if you have decimal dyslexia?

And this is being held where?

From someone just coming off a week in Scotland testing as many of the malts that he could get his hands on, there are bottles that could be brought to such a meeting if it had a reasonable venue.
