I like em thin n crisp. Whole wheat. Nice n buttery. With semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips in and on top. Yummy.
i don't know that i've ever even seen an ihop. i figured that was one of those restaurants that's only in california or something. on the other hand, i've been to waffle house plenty of times, yet i've never had a waffle there.
Pancakes, for me, need to be loaded with fruit and maybe some whipped cream. No butter, no syrup. But really I eat them very rarely. Savory breakfast is better, or no breakfast.
