I always used to laugh at the scene in Best In Show where the yuppie couple talk about how they met at Starbucks. But they weren't at the same Starbucks, they were at two different Starbucks across the street from each other.

During a trip to the Atlanta area, I saw so many Waffle House locations that I jokingly made a reference to that scene from Best In Show.

Then IT happened. Literally drove past a spot where there were 2 Waffle Houses across the street from each other. It was supposed to be a joke. Only a joke.

In New England you'll find Dunkin Doughnuts across from each other.

The only place I know in Atlanta that has a waffle house across from another is in Avondale estates where the very first waffle house is located. It's a museum now that is hardly ever open and across the street is a newer more modern waffle house. I bet you were over there lol.

I suppose it's possible, but I don't think that's it.

The trip when this happened was 7+ years ago (pre-covid for sure), so I don't recall the specific location, but it wasn't in Atlanta proper. And I don't recall either location looking like a museum or a location where anybody would put a museum, it was a stretch of road/highway with retail space / strip malls on both sides.
