Afternoon Non-Scoop: IHOP Might Be Coming To Columbia Heights
Pancakes are in. Organic tofu is out. The Washington Business Journal is reporting that IHOP is in talks to move into the DCUSA behemoth. DCist is on board. Prince of Petworth appears to have scooped everyone. POP wonders what people think. We wonder, too.

Why "boo"? A 24-hour diner is a 24-hour diner. Job creation is job creation. Light, fluffy pancakes smothered in blueberry syrup are light, fluffy pancakes smothered in blueberry syrup. Who gives a fuck if it's a chain?

Original House of Pancakes blows away the International version. Hands down. IHOP kinda sucks.

@Dave "Ima hungry, FEED ME" McKenna: At iHop you can get crepes filled with meat and cheese. That makes the French A-OK in my book.
I hope someone from iHop is keeping track of all the support.
