IHOP Restaurant Eggs- READ THIS

[SkinnySoon]

After reading about this a long time ago, I've learned to ask for fresh cracked eggs wherever I go because I'm scared that they might do this at other places too. I always ask for fresh cracked eggs as Denny's... and they look MUCH different then everyone else's.... but I'm not sure if they add anything to them. I just assume that they do.

This is one very important lesson all Atkineers need to learn and learn quickly always at any place you eat ask what is in the food and how is it prepared. The resturant folk are used to this they want your business and don't want to have a medical emergency should you have a food allergy. Call them on it if they brush you off. I know it might seem like a big deal but your health is a big deal. You don't want your hard work undone by an added ingredient that triggered cravings or caused you to exceed your carb limit.

It happened to me lastweek...... I asked all the right Q's and got these answers:

Their Hollandaise sauce contains corn syrup solids (I asked if it contained sugar and she came back and told me no sugar, but the cook knew to tell her there was the other stuff )

The steak or chicken philedalphia contains imitation crab, and comes premixed.

Their veggie of the day was corn, so I asked for an extra large salad in lieu of it, and she complied

I had the greek baby back ribs.......... spices and lemon juice only

Hey Guys,

The new IHOP menus actually list the inclusion of pancake batter, so there is no need to debate the issue any more. The last time I ate there, I simply asked for a fresh egg omlette. I did not notice the difference in taste or texture. I don't want to be fluffy anymore, so my eggs or omlettes sure don't have to be either! :yes

I ate the big steak omlette from ihop today without realizing it had hashbrons in it until it was to late. Did i totally mess up my diet?

Wow, this thread is from 2003. Things have probably changed at IHOP since then.

Amy, on future visits to IHOP, maybe you could investigate the menu before you eat? Also, when you realize that there are potatoes in the dish (after the first bite?) you can pick them out. Easier to order them without though.

I was recently told the same thing at our IHOP here. I always ate them before, not anymore. How do you trust that they really just use real eggs if you ask for that?

Re: IHOP Restaurant Eggs- READ THIS

If you really want to make sure you are getting real eggs, ask for sunnyside up, over easy, over med, or over well. Even if you ask for cracked eggs in an omlette or scrambled, there is a chance you are getting reconstituted powdered eggs, and who knows what is in that! If you go to a small local, neighborhood type place you can trust, or better yet, where you can see the cook preparing your eggs, you may be ok.

But most restaurant chains/hotel restaurants, etc. use the powdered eggs. How appetizing is that?

This may be an old thread but I'm so glad I found it!
