My bad experiences with pancake specialty restaurants is not just the
low quality syrup. The pancakes themselves are horrible. Pancakes are
easy enough to make.... flour, salt, baking powder, a little sugar, some
eggs, milk and oil. It takes about a minute to whip up a batch. These
guys seem to want to dumb it down to reduce costs and so that the
minimum wage staff can't screw them up too badly.
