A video showcasing a Waffle House chef skillfully preparing the chain’s beloved omelet has gone viral, captivating food enthusiasts who praised the chef’s remarkable culinary abilities.
Posted in September 2024, the clip has amassed over 407,000 views to date, featuring TikToker Donovan, who frequently recreates some of the popular dishes from the Waffle House menu.
Donovan explained, “This is how we do it. It’s two eggs. It goes in a milkshake blender,” while holding a stainless steel cup. He began by reaching for his pan and added, “We use butter oil, two scoops,” while using a ladle to measure out the fat blend. “Then that goes on the heat,” he noted, setting it over the burner and ensuring it “gets hot.”
“This is just gonna be a plain cheese omelette,” he revealed.
Next, Donovan blended the eggs, emphasizing that this was a crucial step in the preparation. “So the blender is whipping air into the eggs and making them super fluffy. That’s how they get fluffy. Once the pan is hot, then we have our whipped eggs.”

He poured the egg mixture into the pan, checking the heat to ensure it was adequately hot before swirling the pan to prevent sticking. He then placed a slice of American cheese in the center, transferred it to a plate, and skillfully folded it to achieve the perfect omelet shape.
Viewers were impressed by Donovan’s efficient cooking techniques, with comments like: “I would love to see a cooking competition series featuring Waffle House cooks.”
“Thank you for that! The secret is the blender,” another viewer commented, appreciative of the tip.
One viewer noted, “You made that look too easy; I still struggle with my omelets and often overcook them a bit.”
This dish is regarded as a signature item of the Waffle House chain.
Another viewer humorously remarked, “Man, I’m heading out for breakfast now, lol.”
Interestingly, while many may perceive the omelet as a simple breakfast option, it is often seen as a measure of a chef’s skill in the culinary world.
As stated by culinary expert Thierry Isambert Culinary & Event Design, “The omelette is more than just a dish; it’s an art form. Crafting the perfect omelet requires mastering technique, timing, and meticulous attention to detail. Every aspect, from the cooking equipment to how the ingredients are blended, reflects the chef’s craftsmanship.”
This September, another chef also gained viral fame on TikTok after sharing his top three tips for enhancing food quality at McDonald’s.
