In case you thought maybe “teleporting to Waffle House” was some kind of metaphor. No. He meant it literally

@jalefkowit
It's like Talking Heads, "Once in a lifetime".
"You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile"
And you may ask yourself my god, what have I done?
@jalefkowit People have different theories on the Waffle House—that it exists in the "thin place" where our world and the fae world overlap. That there's only one Waffle House with multiple projections into our reality. That time is actually in a loop at Waffle House.
But it's the one place you could say you teleported to and people who know Waffle House would kind of nod and say, "yeah, I could see that happening."
@jalefkowit Also, note that he didn't describe anyone at the Waffle House being alarmed about the fact that he'd teleported there. Just that he ended up there and didn't know how.
Which also tracks. If someone materialized next to me at the Waffle House I'd probably give them a quick look and say, "just so you know, they're out of jalapenos..."
