Now, 60 years later, there are more than 1,500 locations offering diners everything from their signature waffle, to Bert's famous chili — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

While you probably won't give it a second thought after placing your order at the iconic restaurant — arguably the best in Atlanta — what you select may say more about you than you think.
