Hey, these are lean economic times. So we headed right over to Free Pancake Day at IHOP on Broad Street in Bloomfield to get fat for free. Or almost free–we had to buy drinks to get the goods. Because we needed chocolate milk to go with our buttermilk short stacks.
It was a tough dinner in the trenches, but we survived. The only problem was, after such a butter-laden, carb-filled, sugary feast, our butts were the size of Belgium waffles. If you want a Belgium waffle butt, too, you can still make it to IHOP by 10 p.m. tonight. Or just be sure to get there early this time next year.
Here is my advice if you go:
- Be prepared to wait at least 20 minutes.
- Bring toys or iPhones or patience–service is understandably slow.
- The place is filled with college kids and big families with babies.
- Watch out for the blond homeless woman in the ladies’ restroom who reeks
