Sometimes, thought, it just annoys me, because she'll do it even when my gal and I are the only ones in the place.

Well yes, that's because the service doesn't improve even then.

Although its not Denny's my wife once asked me why I didn't like IHOP.  I replied "everything there is sticky", which she found hilarious.  I haven't been in a Denny's since indoor smoking was banned.  My main recollection of it is that stale cigarette smell.  I wonder if I might like it more now without the stench.

IHOP and Denny's have that in common. Along with porn theatres and nudie bars.

Different kind of syrup I guess, but yeah I've noticed that too.  I prefer IHop though because I don't have to wait a half an hour to get my pancakes.

Going to Denny's makes me feel like I'd rather be at Waffle House.

YYYEEEEEEESSSSSSS


(the food at dohi sucks, but at least they bring a carafe of coffee. why can't you learn from them, waffle house? why?)

Going to Denny's makes me wonder how I ended up on a different continent.

Seriously though, I just got back from dropping my little bro to the airport at 5am and y'all are making me crave some breakfast diner action.

I loves me some IHOP. But then, I eat at Friendly's on purpose several times a year, so my judgement is not to be trusted.

Most of the IHOPs around here are either relatively new or recently remodeled, I think that makes a difference. The Waffle Houses, though they were a beloved haunt back in my college days, are all pretty ghetto.

This reminds me of the International House of Pancakes outside Charlotte where my brother in law used to live. It was on Cox Road, and when you called, the waitresses would answer the phone by saying, "IHOP on Cox, may I help you?"

Apparently, the management caught wind and put an end to it a few years ago, mainly because the place was flooded with phone calls from teenage boys.

See, the Friendly's I go to is my childhood Friendly's, and I always get good, fast service there. Like, "the meal arrives before I've finished reading the dessert menu" fast.

But when I met Alohadawg in the Cleveland Friendly's, I seem to remember it taking a surprisingly long time.

So maybe the one I frequent when I'm up north is just a particularly good link in the chain.

I thank you for the phrase "bottom cakes."  Away I go.

I'm certain I've said it here before but it stands repetition in this instance:

The day I realized why my dad laughed everytime someone ordered a "Happy Ending" sundae at Friendlys was the day I became a man.
