IHOP "Dinner For Breakfast, Breakfast for Dinner" TV Commercial.

They've taken my long standing approach!

To me, what was great was the voice over sounded like John Candy which
reminded me of the movie "Uncle Buck" which in turn reminded me of the
humongous four-feet wide stack o' birthday pancakes on the kitchen table
for his nephew, drowning in maple syrup with bricks of butter melting on
top.

I sensed a kreative connection.

I get the feeling it's just getting around to playing Philly TV. Still...
it was a fun brainquake.

IHOP's food is crappy, and it's just the kind of stuff that an Uncle
Buck type would gorge on, then seriously stink up the family bathroom.

You can say THAT again!!!

Too bad about John Candy. He shouldn't have rested his laurels on his
obesity.

Imho,

I don't go there now. Not out of ideology, but because I don't go to
parties that end at 3AM very often these days and if they do, the host
has food. It used to be good, but I was young and I wasn't paying
attention to what I was eating anyway.

sf,

IHOP left town about 3 years ago.

I wasn't a big fan.

In there place is a bakery called Panera Bread. Whatever they're all
about I dunno.

I just drove past that Fudruckers I mentioned which has been next to
Century 21 since it opened. There was a big sign in a window that
said "Available". Guess they closed, but I don't know when.

For me, just the name only, "Fuddruckers", in my mind's eye, read it as
"****ers".

That's mainly why I never liked the place. What's in a name? Eh?

I hope you get past that, and try their burger & fries... just don't do

Bob,

Heh heh heh!

They had a short life in Springfield, PA. Gone since over a decade ago.

I'd try them again somewhere else, given the planets line up just right,
etc., etc.

Their headquarters is right here in Richmond Heights, Missouri.
My wife and son eat at Panera pretty often, but here in StL they are
branded St. Louis Bread Company.
I like their pastries.

I think that was the vague idea in some yuppie corporate mind. Oooo,
racy and funny <giggle>. Not.

I never stepped foot in the place, now there's no chance. Not that I
feel bad about it. I thought the name was stupid enough that it
should have died a long time ago, but deep pockets in corporate kept
it alive or more than likely they slowly bled it to death before
finally putting it out of it's misery.

If I can get an avocado, cheese and sprout sandwich on multigrain
bread, that would be even better.

sf,

We can sniff out anything + avocado, cheese, sprout multigrain bread
sandwiches from outer space! We've done it before! We can do it again!

I used to send outgrown kids' clothes to a consignment shop
called "Shirt Off My Back". There's a yuppie ice cream shop in
my home town called "Scoops". Our favorite restaurant at a
private airport is called "The Perfect Landing".

I've often thought a good name for a Kosher deli in a non-Jewish
area would be "No, We Don't Sell Ham." because some people are
so clueless.

Excellent! http://www.panerabread.com/ but probably too good for you.

What Panera Bread is about is good food! Great bread, and yummy other
stuff too. But beware, as I always talk about with a buddy of mine who
works R&D for Panera, "this is NOT diet food!"

I just rode my bicycle down to a local Saint Louis Bread CO this AM
(that's what Panera was called when they started here in Saint Louis,
and they retained the name but only in Saint Louis) to buy my usual 2#
loaf of Sourdough bread. Great stuff! It's my staple bread. Not cheap,
a little over $4 for a 2# loaf, but it's great bread.

John,

I will have to try, as I said before.

My only gripes are, they sure picked the worst space in the strip mall,
limiting traffic to one way from a poor direction (I should take a
picture to paint a clearer picture). That and as much as I enjoy
sourdough, if it ain't from San Francisco, I feel cheated.

Best,

Andy

My youngest son had his 25th birthday party on Saturday night. He and
his wife fell alseep on the couch somewhere around 1AM while their
friends continued partying. They have two small children :-)
