IHOP

The International House of Pancakes, also known as IHOP, is a United States-based restaurant chain that specializes in breakfast foods. It is owned by DineEquity, with 99% of the restaurants run by independent franchisees. While IHOP's focus is on breakfast foods such as pancakes, waffles, French toast and omelettes, it also offers a menu of lunch and dinner items.

This chain has almost 1,500 restaurants in all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Not to be confused with the International House of Prayer of Kansas City where people's main activities are to fast and to pray. Interestingly, the prayer place has a web site that is ihop.org! For the Pancake people, you guessed it, it's ihop.com! I am tempted to get the domain name iHop.net just to be in tune with all the iPads, iPhones, iThis and iThat! What would an iHop do if not to sell pancakes or to pray? I wonder!
