IHOP Not

What’s with the cult of IHOP among twenty- and thirty-somethings?  I suppose it has something to do with idolization of the suburban kitsch experience.  And maybe it’s viral marketing.  But every time I go, the service is terrible, the tables are sticky, the pancakes are nothing special and the rest of the menu is repulsive.  Let’s not even talk about the clientele.  And then there’s usually a wait, too!

Sure, there are lots of different _____berry syrups, but let’s face it — the place is gross.
