Butter-Flavored Shortening Powers Waffle House's Fluffy Scrambled Eggs

Waffle House reportedly uses Ventura Foods' Kaola Gold Zero Trans Fat Shortening (now Phase Gold) on its griddles to mimic butter flavor and withstand constant high heat, while staff whip farm-fresh eggs in a blender to aerate them for a fluffy texture. Cheese N' Eggs are creamier rather than fluffy. For home cooks, beat eggs with a whisk to re-create the texture and consider a splash of acid to boost fluffiness.
