Food Porn: The Big IHOP Pancake Burger
“Our pancakes and Steakburger had a baby!” says proud IHOP.
The Big IHOP Pancake Burger is “a world-famous buttermilk pancake griddle with Cheddar cheese and layered between two premium Steakburger patties, then topped with American cheese, custom-cured hickory-smoked bacon and our signature IHOP sauce.”
What proud parents! Who wouldn’t want enough white flour, meat, cheese, and sauce to supply 1,310 calories?
With fries for your side, you’re up to 1,630 calories plus 39 grams (two days’ worth) of saturated fat and 3,930 milligrams (a 1½-day supply) of sodium. It’s like eating two McDonald’s Quarter Pounders with Cheese plus two Egg McMuffins.
Too bad the Pancake Burger was for a limited time only. Now that it’s gone, you’ll have to settle for IHOP’s other new burgers—the Garlic Butter and Loaded Philly. Unfortunately, each packs a mere 800-plus calories without fries.
“Last year, the Internet told us to stick to pancakes,” said IHOP on Instagram. “Well, we heard you...”
You did? What’s next? Pancakes in your BLTs, biscuits, wraps, and milkshakes? Surely you can find other ways to sell cheap white flour...with a side of fries, of course.
