Was she “going Method” for a switch to acting or recording an orange juice commercial? For two months, Del Rey—as she is wont to do—left fans in the dark.

At first glance, Waffle House #1283 just seems like any other Waffle House. The Florence, Alabama location of the all-day breakfast chain is just down the street from a Jiffy Lube and a car wash, serves its hash browns scattered, smothered, and covered, and hasn’t yet OK-ed online ordering. But this Waffle House is undoubtedly the only Waffle House in America where your All-Star Special could’ve been served by six-time Grammy nominee Lana Del Rey. The restaurant is located in Florence, Alabama, a town mentioned in the lyrics to one of the singer's recent tracks.

Sam Burros is a writer, producer, and cook working with the Food and Lifestyle team at PEOPLE. Prior to working with PEOPLE, he was an editorial fellow for Food Network, a reporter for Heritage Radio Network, and a recipe tester for Alison Roman's third cookbook Sweet Enough.

’ ” Del Rey told The Hollywood Reporter of her visit to a Waffle House in Florence, Alabama. Del Rey says, “I didn’t see anyone take a video of me,” as she went into waitress mode. “This guy,” Del Rey tells Hollywood Reporter, “a regular, comes in every day and orders two things, so they were like, ‘Just go get it for him! For dip,” referring to a spit cup, a sort of improvised mobile spittoon frequently utilized by smokeless tobacco users. Lana Del Rey‘s fans are fascinated with pretty much everything the “A&W” singer does, especially when they get a rare chance to interact with her offstage, in the wild. That’s why when she popped into a Waffle House in Florence, Alabama in July and worked a shift pouring coffee and chatting the patrons up — she even had an official “Lana” name tag — it briefly broke the internet.
She also offered a few more details about one of the videos that emerged from the unexpected shift, though it wasn’t totally clear which one. In one, she hands something to a customer and frets over the recording, just in case the man doesn’t want to be filmed; while in another, she kneels next to a different customer and sings a bit of “Amazing Grace” with him. Last week we discussed Hillshire Farm recalling 15,000 pounds of smoked sausage. Tuttle additionally also appears to have met Del Rey prior to the singer’s adventure at the diner chain, posing for photos out of uniform in a July 19 post.
"Sometimes I wonder what his wife would think if she knew that I didn't know anything / He's born in December and I'm born in June / He's born in December and he got married while we were in couple's therapy together." The singer's fans seemed unphazed by the news and have praised the star for giving an unforgettable performance at the festival. Coachella can be a wild time for fans and musicians alike with hundreds of thousands of people vibing out to their favorite artists together. More users trolled Lana because she added weight, with some even saying that for them to listen to her music, she would first have to lose weight. "Also Lana del Rey is my favorite artist, but that doesn't mean I have to lie because she really looks bad nowadays," another person noted. On July 24th, the official @bratz Instagram[10] page posted a mock-up of a Bratz doll made to resemble Lana Del Rey working at Waffle House, garnering over 157,000 likes in a day (shown below).
He shared a video from one of the iconic moments from his performance and said he had always wanted to play at Coachella. "The optics of Lana, a white woman, complaining about feminism lacking space for her while critiquing the acclaim allotted to several Black pop artists is mortifying." The singer noted that she was tired of female writers who said her songs glamorized abuse when she was just singing about the realities of many relationships, which are currently prevalently emotionally abusive. Lana managed to transform herself from an unknown and unsuccessful singer to a famous and successful artist. The singer's success is reportedly attributed to her management, who chose her stage name, and her millionaire father, who funded her career. The reason Del Rey was at the Waffle House remains unclear, leaving fans to speculate on a variety of possibilities.
Twitter[11] user @LDRBUZZ reposed the image that day, garnering over 26,000 likes in a similar timeframe. Of all the extremely random and out of place celebrity sightings this summer, Lana Del Rey popping up, not only at an Alabama Waffle House, but also clocking in to work a shift might have topped them all. In photos taken by onlookers, the songstress was seen tending to customers and snapping selfies with employees (all while keeping a very sturdy grip on her infamous vape). After seeing Del Rey donning the chain’s blue button-up uniforms, many fans thought the singer might be switching to a career in serving, but she revealed that it wasn’t nearly that serious. “We were on our third hour, and the servers asked, ‘Do you guys want shirts?
The singer came into the music industry as Lizzy Grant, but she wasn't successful or popular. She even released an album that sank virtually with no trace. Later that day, Today[12] published a story highlighting several photos and theories fans had about why Del Rey was working at the Waffle House. One fan stopped by the restaurant with a poster from her new album, hoping for a signature.
At the end of her stay before leaving for a concert in Arkansas, she also did an impromptu recording session at legendary Sheffield recording studio Muscle Shoals Sound. That July morning, she’d been at the Florence Waffle House with her brother and sister for three hours hanging out. From the wording of O’Connell’s lede, it sounds like Del Rey and fam had been stopping in at that Waffle House for several days, sitting at the same booth each visit. After, the restaurant’s manager, who goes unnamed in the interview, posted a short clip to Facebook, which set off the rumor mill.
