"Fine" Dining

Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity is BACK!

• Michael is joined by friend and "woman-of-God" Jasper Lewis to talk all things IHOP, the International House of Pancakes and chain restaurant juggernaut
• Poor signage/menu descriptions leave Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity a mystery
• What's Going On Over There with the barren Wikipedia page for IHOP?
• Learn the history of the franchise, from its founder's interest in coffee to its acquisition of Applebee's (which it paid for in cash)
• That whole "IHOB" thing
• A Yelper recounts the restaurant's denial that there could be hair in his food because "no one who works here is hairy"
• The full review comes next week!
• "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to our YouTube to watch this episode!
