    IHOP restaurant...be careful!

    Went to IHOP for breakfast and intended to order a veggie omelet w/ cheese. Read the menu and saw something of the effect...
    "we add pancake batter to our omelets for a fluffier omelet....". Maybe I'm delusional, but I am almost sure that is what I read. I kept pondering this after the waitress picked up the menus. Was going to ask to see a menu before I left, just to confirm...but I forgot. Ended up not eating until I got back home (I was afraid to at that point).
    Am I losing my mind or has anyone else that have been to IHOP know about this or have read this on the menu?

      Wow 2Big!!! Is that the craziest things you've ever heard of? Who would ever assume theres pancake batter in standard omelets? Whats this world coming to?

        they have been doing that since before low carb became popular. the menu warnings are new. Many low carbers have gotten a load of carbs when they thought they were eatting perfect because they didn't have those warnings. IHOP has been an issue on ADBB since the beginning. thatnks for reminding your fellow inductees abiout how food prepared by others may not be prepared low carb like you do it. ALways ask first eat second.

          Yeah, I love the Colorado omelet there, but I ask for the whole eggs, not the batter-laden ones...if I actually get it...that's another question.

          You ever had that one?? It's huge!

            Christ, that never even occured to me. I mean, I like to think I'm pretty good at looking for hidden carbs, but I didn't even think to ask if pancake batter was in the eggs. I mean, who would have?

            I don't eat at IHOP very much, but there are a few other places I'm wondering about now...

                I think Denny's might do something similar. Might want to ask.
