one tired morning at IHOP a few months ago i reached for the maple syrup to pour on my pancakes, only to realize too late i had mistakenly grabbed the coffee. i had actually taken a bite before realizing what happened.

I've got a "not-sweet-yams-but-MASHED-CARROTS!" story I could share, but I'll wait for the Luby's/Picadilly's thread.

Yeah, old IHOPs are about as easy to spot as former Pizza Hut's. Once, I was driving at dusk down Markham without my glasses, and was just amazed by how blue the sky looked. It took me a second to really focus before I realized that I was looking at the high roof of an IHOP.

Nickalicious's weed-dealer story is still the hidden gem of this thread.

last time I went to WH was on 1-81 in VA where the guy sitting next to me was vehemently refused his special request on the souped-up home fries. those potatoes are over-the-top already.
the original Perkins Pancake House was in my Cincinnati neighborhood. a real hole-in-the-wall on Hamilton Ave.

Last time I went to IHOP I ordered the ice cream sundae, and there was a long hair in it. I sent it back and told them I didn't want another one, but they brought me another anyway. I let my friends eat it. When I went to the counter to pay for my drink, they charged me for the sundae too. When I tried to explain the situation, the hostess woman threatened to call the cops if I didn't pay up. I gave them my $3, and will never go back.

I'd lose my shit if I ever saw a hearse at the back of a Waffle House.

Nude couple's feud ends at Waffle House
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- No shirt, no service? What about no clothes at all? A couple that began squabbling in a motel room Friday morning carried their dispute over to an adjacent Waffle House restaurant in the nude, police said.
The woman, who was not identified, told officers she was staying in a room with Larry Boyd when he took a hit of cocaine, started trashing their room and choked her.
She ran in the buff to the nearby restaurant and locked herself in the bathroom. Boyd, also naked, followed her into the restaurant and then fled in a car.
He was arrested - still naked - after a short chase by police and was charged with driving under the influence and felony evading arrest, among other charges. It was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney.

And, I wholeheartedly vote for Waffle House. The JUKEBOX with WAFFLE HOUSE SONGS is reason enough for it to win.
Although, I've never been to Huddle House.
