This actually reminds me of one year I was heading home from my folks' on New Year's. As usual, I found myself driving past Michigan City, IN, around or after midnight, with the usual lake-effect snow going full blast. As not-so-usual, I decided I was going to have to pull off for the night, so after checking into the local Super 8, I set out to see what late-night eating establishments might actually be open. Almost nothing. I swear, this was the first and only night I ever found a darkened Denny's. (Oh, my God! They closed Denny's! You bastards!) I finally found one source of sustenance actually braving the weather that night: a White Castle, probably only because it was attached to a 24-hour gas station. At least I didn't have to go to bed hungry. I have no idea whether there was a Waffle House in MI City, or where I might have found it if there were, but if all else fails... I guess there's always White Castle.
