A few months ago, the company that owns the IHOP (International House of Pancakes) restaurant chain bought the Applebee's restaurant chain. We've now seen an unexpected benefit from that merger.
Robert and I were out and about in Takoma Park the other night and stopped in at their IHOP. We both ordered new menu items, Robert getting the sirloin tips and eggs (they looked really tasty) and me getting the barbecued ribs. Our waiter informed us that the ribs were the same ribs that are used at Applebee's. And, they were surprisingly good! They were smaller ribs, but they had all the expected flavor and they used a similar not-too-sweet sauce. Even better, they cost only a dollar more than the entree salad I'd originally planned to order.
