Danny Linguini Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 The joke's on us! The IHOb name change was a ruse! It was all just to call attention to their new burger menu. I thought they'd have to have farts in their heads to just drop such a well-known and recognizable brand like IHOP, and I was right, just like everybody else who thought it was the stupidest marketing idea ever. But it was a fake name change, and once I heard that it gave me a good laugh. And now we all know they have burgers along with breakfast. Nicely done, guys!

RABid Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Actually not a bad move for a struggling company. They have been closing a lot of IHOP's and Applebees. This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotiDave Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 My son likes me to take him to iHop. I think the food is sub-blah but hes the tops so we go. He gets bacon, pancake, hash browns - fare one can get literally at any establishment open at that hour that has plates and flatware. But hey, its cheap and hes the tops - so we will go. He loves burgers. Loves loves burgers. Burgers and fries are his wheelhouse - his inner chi. So i thought IHOB would be a whole new extension to our iHOP relationship. Given my complete indifference to the OG P brand, i was almost accepting of the absurd rebrand and am now a bit disappointed to learn i was duped (lol). The baiting I do is purely for entertainment value. Please feel free to ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real MC Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Seems to be a LOT of places (in the states) that serves burgers, I would say way too many. There's a lot other foods I don't see on menus anymore. One gets tired of the usual variations of burgers, chicken, and iceberg lettuce salads. Frankly I don't eat as many burgers as I used to.

Joe Muscara Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I hate going there. Everything is sticky. They just wipe everything with those damp towels and smear the syrup around.

RABid Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I would love a good old fashion open face roast beef with real mashed potatoes and gravy that is not out of a can. It used to be standard fair at any diner. Now if you can find it is it most likely deli roast beef, instant potatoes, and Heinz gravy. This post edited for speling.

Gotta hit the small town non-chain owner operated diners for that. Very true. I was traveling and ready for a meal when I spotted a billboard for a small town diner. Their menu boasted that their meals taste like Grandma used to make. Well I had to see how accurate that was, so I ordered ham, mashed potatoes, and corn - and damn if it didn't taste like my Grandma's cooking!!! When I travel I look for the mom-n-pop restaurants. The chains are the same as back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets bacon, pancake, hash browns - fare one can get literally at any establishment open at that hour that has plates and flatware. I don't go much, but I think iHOP's breakfasts (pancakes, omelettes) are better than what you get at the typical diner. I like their cheese blintzes (crepes), too, and they had a nice stuffed french toast. I wouldn't go there for a dinner meat or chicken dish (I've tried them, disappointing), but for the light/breakfast stuff, I always really enjoyed t. Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
