Admittedly CB is creepy to me (as a Yankee). The whole store thing inside.. great idea, but creepy. I think maybe CB is the breakfast version of Red Lobster. <yikes>

Oh, its freaky in a redneck kind of way, but yeah...pancakes.
 
To reply to the OP, every one in a while something happens in the contributors forum (a private forum only for people who contribute) that triggers a large portion of contributors coming out with similar themes avatar changes.

This time round it's pancakes.

I like the mystery of having no freaking clue as to why they are doing this, it's rather funny.

But not how you spell: Je ne sais quoi.

After faking my way through a year of high school French I should have remembered that - or at least Googled it. Oops. :)

That's hilarious, Chris! I like it!
 
Well.. Cracker Barrel Store #345 treated my pancake needing belly right.

'Tis quite alright. Mdm Ouwinga would be appalled if she had a clue how much French I've forgotten. Besides, your statement was an order of magnitude harder than "Voilà", which burns me every time I see someone spell it "Walla". So you should be commended for coming pretty damn close.
 
Does this have anything to do with the fact that next Tuesday would have been Aunt Jemima's 97th birthday?

Marketing™.

Everybody wants to be in on the secret.


Ok, that's enough cynicism.

Tell us all the details - lots of butter?


Buiscuits. Cornbread. Grandma's Pancake Breakfast: 2 poached eggs. 3 thick slices of bacon. 3 buttermilk pancakes with 2 quail's egg sized dollops of fresh butter. Ate the buiscuits and cornbread while I waited. Once the food arrived, I spread the butter evenly over the hot (steaming!) pancakes to let it soak in. Then ate the bacon first. Then the eggs. Saved the wonderful pancakes for last... stacked them up (no sign of the butter!), and used BOTH bottles of syrup.

Is this ****ing "Griddle Porn™" or what? :D

Doesn't anyone go to IHOP anymore?

Hmm I haven't been to one since I saw a Phish show in Winston-Salem sometime in the mid-late 90s. It was pretty gross. Gross enough to keep me from going back.

I've never actually been to Red Lobster. Why? Because I live in Rhode Island, with more cost line per square mile than any other state. We don't need 90% of our seafood flown in from across the country.

Okay, except for salmon and Alaskan king crab.

I'm suddenly feeling the need to buy a large bottle of syrup and chug the entire thing.
Images of Supertroopers flash in my head...

Which also may be the reason that I've never been to a Red Lobster. I was born and raised in RI.
But I see the clientele when I roll by. Prom dates! :eeks: :rolleyes:

I hope you enjoy it. That movie is (a cult) classic.
 
I swear, people contribute to this site and turn absolutely loopy. Just another reason never to pay anyone, anything.


...Unless you pay in maple syrup or ice cream, in which case, pay twice monthly, after the second Tuesday and bring your own bucket.
