IHOP Relies on Surging Bacon-Mania to Keep Pace With Competition
By Rocco 'Boss Hog' Loosbrock
OK ... normally I would never consider giving such valuable ink, prominent space or personal and professional props to any one, single establishment, within the same month, let alone the same week, but there's a good reason for me to do so this week.
After showing the entire country that they truly are a family oriented restaurant run by sincerely caring human beings, by offering free short-stacks of pancakes to raise money for The Children's Miracle Network.
The good folks over at The International House Of Pancakes, now more commonly and simply referred to as IHOP are using their business wisdom and understanding of culture and human psychology by cashing in on the massive popularity of Bacon-Mania!
The fact that bacon has miraculously rising from being a very strict "NO-NO" in most people's dietary rule book, to now being the popular food now being added to almost every other type of food in order to make it more popular, all in just a few short years, is truly amazing.
IHOP is simply the very next in an extremely long line of restaurants, from the most posh and impressively sophisticated eateries, to pretty much all of the fast food "drive-thru" joints speckled generously across this country's wide and varied lands to bet on the bacon to help bring home the bacon.
The big difference here is that IHOP deserves a standing ovation and pat on the back for making it about a lot more than simply making the "Big Bucks" selling decent food and reasonable prices. IHOP has worked hard to help kids in need and for that fact alone, I'm happy to give them a smiling "shout out" and say "attaboy" and "way to go" my friends!
Of course the bacon they are serving up may not be the most impressive, gourmet bacon that many of you have come to enjoy and expect, but it's clearly as good, if not better that the bacon served up by many of the fast food places.
So, if you truly would like to do something different this week, take your friends and or family indoors for a meal, get the heck out of the car, and go inside, sit down and share a meal brought to you by some other real human people, face to face, and talk to each other like real people for a change.
Give it a try; I think you'll like it!
