A tribute to IHOP and Waffle House
September 16th, 2010
Is there anything better than breakfast at 2am? If you’re an avid nightlifer, you’re answer was probably no. That’s why IHOP and Waffle House are the party-goers best friends. Open late, friends can sit back, recap the night, and munch on their favorite breakfast foods. As a tribute to our favorite spots for the late night munchies, we explore some of each location’s most craveable foods.IHOPEver since 1958, the International House of Pancakes (IHOP) has been the international link to great breakfast. Combinations provide everything that a breakfast lover has ever drooled over. For example there’s the signature Split Decision Breakfast, which includes pancakes and French toast, as well as eggs and meats. If you have a need for something particular, like an omelet or a pancake stack, then the best gets better. Indulge in the Colorado Omelette , packed with all your favorite meats: like beef, ham, bacon, and sausage. Or if you’re a veggie lover, there’s the Spinach and Mushroom Omelette, which includes spinach, mushrooms, Swiss cheese and more.Above anything else, IHOP is known for its pancakes. Where else can you get such delectable varieties as the New York Cheesecake Pancakes? A pancake selection stuffed with actual cheesecake pieces and strawberries.Waffle HouseAfter 55 years, the menu at Waffle House keeps us coming back. True, they are recognized for their waffles. But one of the best parts about Waffle House is the variety you get with your hash browns. Alongside regular hash browns, you can order covered, smothered, chunked, diced, peppered. . . the list keeps going. One of the most popular versions of this breakfast classic is the covered: a combination of crispy, golden browns with melted cheese. Another delicious favorite is the company’s melts. For breakfast there is the Sausage/Bacon Egg and Cheese melts. But you can order from the lunch menu and enjoy the other varieties, too: like the Texas Cheesesteak or Steak melt.Of course, you can’t ignore Waffle House’s waffles. Choose a regular buttermilk waffle, or spruce it up with pecans, chocolate chips, or maybe even both!
