Would You Eat IHOP at Home?

Today IHOP announced the launch of a new line of premium frozen breakfast foods, IHOP at Home.

Today IHOP announced the launch of a new line of premium frozen breakfast foods, IHOP at Home. The products, which are available exclusively at Walmart, consist of French Toast Stuffed Pastries, Omelet Crispers, and Griddle 'n Sausage wraps.

There are no details about the cooking method of these breakfast items, which I find a little unappealing. Do they go in the toaster? Microwave? Toaster oven? Although I haven't tasted them, I can't imagine that they are all that good.

Still, when I was younger, pizza pockets piping hot from the microwave were an after-school treat, so maybe in a pinch, these could hit the spot for a fast breakfast. Are you interested in trying IHOP at Home?

Ring In National Pancake Day With a Free Short Stack at IHOP

There's no better way to cure a case of the midweek blues than to sidle up to a table at IHOP and enjoy a maple syrup-topped plate of griddle cakes on the house.

There's no better way to cure a case of the midweek blues than to sidle up to a table at IHOP and enjoy a maple syrup-topped plate of griddle cakes on the house.

Tomorrow only, in celebration of National Pancake Day, the breakfast chain is offering a free short stack of pancakes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. at participating stores nationwide. In return, IHOP hopes you'll be generous enough to consider a donation to its favorite charity, the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

I'm willing to bet that the line at most IHOPs will run out the door. Do you consider it worth your time to wait for free flapjacks?

Does "Cruelty-Free" Food Affect Your Eating Habits?

When you're eating out, there's never any true guarantee as to where your food comes from.

When you're eating out, there's never any true guarantee as to where your food comes from. Even with claims of "cruelty-free" practices, complaints come up, the most recent filed Wed. against the International House of Pancakes by the Humane Society of the United States.

Although IHOP says the animals used for their food receive "dignified and humane treatment" and have decent living conditions, the HSUS alleges that those eggs come from chickens residing in cages too cramped to spread their wings.

Now when you're picking up a dozen at the grocery store, you may choose cage-free eggs but do you ever check with restaurants about their cruelty-free practices before you enter and order?

NFL-Themed Stuffed French Toast: Love It or Hate It?

Tailgating is one way to gear up for this year's football season.

Tailgating is one way to gear up for this year's football season. Another? Celebrating at IHOP. Eat Me Daily has pointed out that the pancake chain has teamed up with the NFL to offer "the ultimate fan fuel for football enthusiasts": football-shaped stuffed French toast. There's a cream-stuffed cinnamon raisin French toast with strawberry topping for AFC fans, and a blueberry compote counterpart for NFC fans. How did football fans ever live without cheesiness?

IHOP Assumes You Will Eat Green Eggs and Ham

I will not eat green eggs and ham.

I will not eat green eggs and ham. I will not eat them . . . Oh, who am I kidding, you guys know that I will eat just about anything, so of course I would eat green eggs and ham. Now I could either make them myself, or I could head to IHOP.

To tie into the release of the new Horton Hears A Who movie, IHOP is offering a Dr. Seuss-inspired menu. From now until April 20, you can chomp down on Who-Cakes (the sort of sickeningly sweet-looking pancake stack), Beezlenut Splash (a lemon-lime soda with colored Jello bits) and Green Eggs and Ham. I think it's a fun idea — well at least I'm sure I would if I was seven. However, when I think green eggs and ham, I usually think of the sunny-side up eggs whose yolks are green. Their interpretation seems to be herb-infused scrambled eggs, which is a little bit disappointing, but still fun.

So tell me, would you head to IHOP to try these dishes? If you do, be sure to snap a pic, I'm curious to see how they look in real life!

Want Some Free Pancakes?

Even though national pancake day was last Tuesday — it's always on Shrove Tuesday aka Fat Tuesday — the folks at IHOP decided to have their pancake day today.

Even though national pancake day was last Tuesday — it's always on Shrove Tuesday aka Fat Tuesday — the folks at IHOP decided to have their pancake day today. This year's pancake day happened to fall on Super Tuesday and instead of competing, IHOP decided to hold their pancake day today. So from 7am to 10pm, you can get one free stack of buttermilk pancakes. That's right, completely free! The only catch is that they ask you to consider making a donation to support the Children's Miracle Network. Their goal is to raise $750,000, so get out there and have a stack!
