If I wanted cake I would have ordered cake!
I am at an IHOP and ordered chicken and a waffle. Usually it is great, except sometimes the chicken is undercooked!
Yet today the waffle seemed off. It felt cakey not crispy, and stuck to the roof of my mouth and was hard to swallow. Perhaps the batter was off, or it was undercooked.
So I explained the problem and asked for a new one. It was cooked more toasty, but still the texture seemed off. Oh well. I will still eat it.
But all my chicken is gone. The whole point of this dish, in my mind, is the contrast. I dip a chicken finger in ranch and take a few bites. Then I pour syrup on part of a buttered waffle and eat a few bites. And so on. I love it.
So now I am staring at 3/4 of a waffle. I smothered it with syrup to maybe help get it down better. Cake for breakfast!
They offered pancakes instead, but they may be cakey, too! Also, I had pancakes yesterday. From another IHOP. 😋 I wanted something different today.
Sheesh, if IHOP cannot get the waffles right, how will the world cope?
Ah, first world problems.
