Internation House Of Blah...

Jen, Cameron and I headed up to the new IHOP here in Brighton. I've have previously been to a couple of IHops before, and seem to remember their food being tasty, and relatively cheap.

This one was not on par with what I remembered. While the service was good, or at least as good as one can expect from a waitress that appeared to be really new at her job. The food it's self was somewhat lacking. Jen and I both got the breakfast sampler. Which is 2 eggs, to bacon strips, 2 slices of ham, 2 sausage links, 2 pancakes and hash browns.

This seems like a lot of food when spoken out this way, but it wasn't. The must have gotten the eggs from midge chickens, I have never seen eggs that small. While the sasuage links where normal sized the bacon looks like the cut 1 piece in half and called it 2, the same with the ham. The portion of hash browns we got where half the sized you'd get at any other place. And for a place that specializes in pancakes, they where about the size you would make at home, only not as thick.

As for the quality, well...

Mine and Jen's over easy eggs had snot in them, as in the white part was not cooked all the way. My bacon had uncooked portions along one of the edges, the hash browns where over cooked, and the pancakes had over moist spots in the center.

Oh, and Camerons pancakes had corn in them. Just two pieces, that must have accidentally fallen in..
