IHOP, Arlington, Va.

Ian and I had to go to Ballston Common Mall, so, naturally, we had to stop in at IHOP for a meal.

Ian got the strawberry fruit "shortbread" pancakes special with the egg combo plate.

There's a Dr. Seuss movie opening soon (this summer??), and IHOP is helping promote it with special foods from Whoville. I ate some. I got the Mayor's Breakfast, featuring green eggs and ham (the eggs weren't really green, just scrambled with chopped spinach), plus hash browns, and a side plate of Who-Cakes.

The Who-Cakes were made from the shortbread-flavored pancake batter they are featuring this month, with the cakes stacked like a ziggurat, colorful syrups poured across them to look like ribbons, and sprinkles liberally strewn over the top; a Dum-Dum sucker skewered the stack to hold them together.

You do not like them.
So you say.
Try them! Try them!
And you may.
Try them and you may, I say.
