Originally it was "International" because they offered different varieties of pancakes and crepes, sweet and savory, from around the world. Over time the pancakes/crepes took a back seat. When I was a kid I think they had varieties from 25-30 countries and the A-frame restaurants were strewn with the flags of all the nations represented. They also used to have a lot more than just 4 syrups.
@@colinschaeffer3940 Now, but not originally. They used to have a good variety or real fruit and maple syrups. I know they had lingonberry, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, peach, apricot, black currant, gooseberry, boysenberry, cinnamon apple, maple, butter pecan, cherry, hazelnut, pineapple, and butterscotch. I think that's all, I remember they had 2 caddies of 8 pitchers.
That's what I discovered looking at a current menu. There was no Ligon Berry topping, no marmelade... NOTHING that made them once famous. There wasn't anything on that table that I would put in my mouth today. What a pitiful excuse for chicken fried steak. It SHOULD look like schnitzel, NOT a McDonnald's fish patty.
I just discovered JOLLY this last week. They do a " Korean Englishman" segments. My favorite is when they go to The Fulham Boys School in London and present them with Korean foods to try. THEN( spoiler) they take 7 of the boys to Korea for 2 weeks to try Korean food and culture. It is truly a delight. Check it out. It is worth it!!❤
I'm so proud of Josh and Ollie for Americanizing their way of thinking about food: "Can I dip my food in this [random other food or sauce]?" *That* is the American way. 😎

This is painfully accurate. Waffle House just… idk, you think you’re on the set of an action-adventure film and someone’s gonna barge in at any second waving a gun and demanding people’s wallets.
Steven was one of the tik tokers that really helped me during the pandemic. Having someone who works in the same field making me laugh about that awful time, it really helped ❤
iHOP used to have an "International" breakfast menue with such things as Swedish Pancakes, German Potato Pancakes, something British I think, can't remember what it was as didn't sound worth eating, Mexican Omelets, etc -- Their new menu has put an end to that "international" flavor (s) much to the downgrading of the food.
When I worked for Ihop Brits were always my favorite customers, I always recommend the NY cheesecake pancakes and the steak tips cause its really good. Always took care of my Brits ❤❤
also she played yall on the cupcake pancake I wouldve hooked it up for yall. the icing has to actually be visible presentation is key whip in the middle than sprinkles gotta make it special ya know
my dad had a native Hawaiian navy buddy and got to experience one in 74 and said he'll never eat another pineapple bc he knows it'll never compare to one fully rip before harvested. Buried pork wrapped in banana leaves etc etc
Forget the luau….have breakfast at any location of Liliha Bakery, on Oahu. You will know the meaning of ono-licious. It’s part of the food pilgrimage my family makes every time we go back to Hawaii.
Originally The International House of Pancakes had international themed pancakes; like German, Dutch, Swedish, Southern, etc. Thus, the International.😊
Dear visitors to the US: IHOP And Denny's are the sit down fast food places of the US. Highly recommend finding Mom n Pop/family owned places wherever you can.
We have Denny's in Canada and I really like it lol. I think we only have IHOP in a couple of really touristy places like Niagara Falls. I have yet to go to an IHOP. Been to Niagara a bunch of times but there are other good places to eat there so just have never gotten to it. I can see family owned places being better than both though.
@@yetiyarnworks6578 I've noticed when I travel to Europe the food chains that we have here that have made it over there are SO MUCH better than in the US. From my experience IHOP is always REALLY BAD in the US. (I've not had it elsewhere) And yes, that required all caps. The worst service as well.

I used to work at an IHOP in East Lansing Michigan right near MSU. It was sooooo good. My take home meal was a corned beef hash + cheese omelet on 2 pancakes with butter and syrup.
One of the big reasons we went to an IHOP or similar was because they had all the different types of syrup. Raspberry strawberry boysenberry blueberry etc in addition to plain old maple syrup you find everywhere. Different flavored pancake syrups is a thing in the USA and missed a great opportunity to experience it.
Make your own. Never understood people acting like coconut syrup was some big ta-do. It's nothing but coconut milk and corn syrup. Pecan Butter syrup is almost as easy. Add toasted pecans, a spoon of melted butter and a bit of vanilla extract to regular pancake syrup. Fruit syrups are made by cooking whatever fruit in a small pan with sugar (and a bit of cornstarch if it needs thickening) and stir until thickened. Here's a budget saving tip - instead of draining canned fruit liquid down the sink, use it for those expensive pancake syrups. Add some sugar and maybe some cornstarch, heat to thicken and done!
Josh and Ollie, one thing to consider when you go out for breakfast in the U.S. is that if the server does not leave the pot of coffee on the table as they do at IHOP, to consider how many times they have come back and forth to refill your coffee. Doing a standard tip at breakfast time doesn't leave much, since breakfast prices tend to be lower. But breakfast servers do more running, in my opinion, then lunch and dinner. So I try to leave them a little extra at breakfast time
Love that these guys are down to try a lot of food that Americans would find "basic". They want to experience and relate to the simple things, and it speaks to the heart! Now I want pancakes 😅
Gotta admit, as a Scandinavian, those are exactly they places I wanna go 😂. I was so excited when I went to Target last time I was in the States hahahhhaha. All my dreams coming true 😂😂
@frejamller2416 I have had plenty of foreign co-workers and friends tell me the same thing! I'm known to be the person who will drive you around to those places, just so you can have the "typical" experience. Just for reference, the reason she left the coffee with them on the table was definitely because they were outside. Sometimes IHOP doesn't if they're busy, but usually, if you are inside, most diners in America, the waitress will come over and fill your coffee cup several times. They actually do more running and more work than anyone serving lunch or dinner, but breakfast prices are so low that even if you calculate the tip correctly, it's still not much. I always try to tip the waitresses extra at breakfast, because they're doing more legwork
@@frejamller2416when you get here, you have to at least notice if not order the rooty tooty fresh and fruity breakfast. It's the funniest thing on the menu at IHOP to pronounce!
@@LindaC616 Ohhh that makes sense with them being outside. One part of me is like "Oh nice, free refills. Wish we had that" but another part of me also finds it ridiculous how much time they have to spend on going back and forth. Would make me feel bad as a customer 😅. I come from Denmark but have also lived in England, so I´m used to the whole "you get what you paid for"-thing, as those two countries are pretty similar at that point. I´ve also lived several years in Korea tho, and there, you can free refills for for example water, but you usually go up and get it yourself. In Denmark, even water is often not refill 😭😭. I don´t know. It might be a Scandinavian/European thing or because I´ve been a waitress myself, but I´m so used to making myself as little as possible as a customer. I don´t wanna be in the way or give them more work than necessary. Very nice of you to tip them extra tho. I´m sure they really appreciate it 🙏.
The sweetest thing I’ve ever had was around 2009 at an I-HOP. I was 8 years old, and they had this Dr. Seuss, 4 stack pancake with the strawberry frosting that’s on a donut, and tons of other sweet things. I couldn’t finish it.
I know this video is already a month old, and I know a lot of people have a tendency to skip over the sponsor - but I'm always really grateful when BetterHelp sponsors people! I truly think that every person on earth could benefit from therapy, but it does tend to be pretty pricey. That being said, it's really nice that there are channels like JOLLY who use the service and will use the sponsor to help you get a discount on something you might genuinely need. I think mental health should be universal, same as physical health, as a Canadian. So, thank you for helping people take steps in the right direction when they might feel like they don't have any options.
I laugh a little when I see a Brit's reaction to our endless coffee or tea refills. Well, I guess most restaurants here in the US also give free refills for soft drinks too. When I go to Scotland, I try to remember that they don't give free 2nds for drinks, but I inevitably forget and end up shaking my head and smiling.
I saw Steven on the thumbnail and my mind didn't register it at first, but then I was like, "IT'S BEN!" because Ben is my absolute favorite in his ER skits. 😆
I thought it was “international “ because of the pancake menu they offer different flavors that are from other countries. The Swedish crepes come to mind at the moment.
IHOP ... when they started promoting the acronym instead of the full name is when they started changing the menu and took all the international types of pancakes, crepes etc off. They used to have all kinds of pancake type foods from around the world. Last time I was there they still had the ligonberry crepes (Swedish crepes) and the chicken Florentine crepes. It's sad to see that the only other country represented now is Mexico (kind of).
@@bethsmith3421 uh missing the obvious here.. BELGIUM. Not the different than routine Liege style made with more of a dough than batter, but still.... the classic round Belgian Waffle (whipped cream/strawberries) is present. French toast can be traced all the way back to Ancient Rome (Pan Dulcis) and therefore it **does** qualify as international... BUT as far as modern day Americans are concerned, the modern style was whipped up by some guy named Joseph French who didnt use the possessive on the name... so that's why it has that label. Similarly "German Chocolate Cake" has NOTHING AT ALL to do with Germany. The recipe was created by some woman with the family name of "German", so possessive apostrophe should also have been used there! LOL
IHOP is okay. They rank as a family restaurant, like Denny’s. They added to their menu over the decades. If you want really great hotcakes from a chain, try The Original House of Pancakes. They started out in our Pacific Northwest. The first one I went to was in the 80s and outside of San Diego. I think Cathedral City. Just before I moved out of the Riverside area they opened one near Norco. The difference is huge. But expect to wait to be seated unless you get there early. They are a good sized and very popular. They are only open for breakfast and lunch. The pancakes always came warm enough to melt the butter. Unlike IHOP’s. Do ask for extra butter if you are getting a stack.
Love the original pancake house when it comes to food. Great pumpkin pancakes. The only issue is that my location is so fucking slow that it actually takes like an hour after ordering to get your food. Pretty good still.
Seriously, I have been waiting for this collab since the spoilers. Steve never disappoints! I am a huge fan of Austin, Ben and Rich. He’s such a genius! Looks so calm here though 😅
@@MK8MasterJunjieso sorry. Literally just noticed your question 🥺 It’s a symbol that I am a Jollybean, a paid member and it changes to different emojis depending on how long I have been a member ☺️
I'm not gonna lie, I know I'm in the minority here but I'm not at all a fan of Steve. His whole schtick is him speaking to a camera and calling his audience curse words. And his fans eat it up like he's done something comedically revolutionary. There's no punchline, no joke, just "here's some healthcare facts, and now i'll say a curse word to make me seem edgy, so you guys know i'm not like the other healthcare content creators"
It's interesting to see someone amazed by free refills on coffee. I never thought about that not being a thing everywhere, it's so ubiquitous in America you're honestly shocked when places don't offer it haha
Thank you, Steven's dad, for letting him come out and play with our two favorite Brits 😸 my vote will always be for the lingonberry crepes. And stay away from the ham, I think it's made from spare bicycle tires.
One thing that I thought they'd nail, but missed, was the mix of sweet and salty with the pancake/bacon combo, for me that combination is just divine. Also re: full English breakfast, yeah we don't put beans, roasted tomatoes, mushrooms, blood pudding amongst others.
As a monster fan of both these channels, a former EMT, and the very occasional patron of IHOP, this video was amazing. Steve makes the weird medical world hilarious.
I'm so surprised that the chocolate pancakes or red velvet cake pancakes weren't selected. This breakfast was so tame and like what you get for a picky little kid.
Please do more videos with Steven Ho. You all have good chemistry together. A collaboration we didn’t ask for, however enjoy watching this video so much! ❤
And IHOP is in 21 different countries, so I think the term International does apply... even if it's not in the UK. Also, maybe the word "International" describes the cuisine they once or still offer, not where it is. Kind of like "International House London", or "London International Airport" which is just in London, by the way, lol. Countries that have IHOPs: United States, Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, Panama, Ecuador, Guam, India, Pakistan, Peru, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Bahrain, Guatemala, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Lebanon, Philippines, and Northern Mariana Islands.
My former girlfriend originally hailed from England and I would often visit IHOP for the night breakfast at 02.00 in the morning. We always ordered corned beef hash as side dish. I miss IHOP after I moved back to Germany...
Ketchup and tobasco is a MUST! Surprised you didn't get a biscuit! Pancake butter flip is essential so the syrup doesn't melt the butter off 😉 I'm so glad you tried the stuffed french toast, cheese on everything!
It's funny the pandemic is mentioned in this video, because I believe the quality of the IHOP experience drastically decreased during the pandemic and never really picked up afterwards. A lot of menu options decreased and because they took away all condiments from the tables, bringing new people to try IHOP was no longer fun. You had to ask for anything you needed, instead of having it readily available to you without asking-but at least the pancakes are still delicious!
@@LindaC616 Yeah, I know it wasn't their fault, but the IHOP experience hasn't been the same, unfortunately. What made it different from all other diners was gone. It's unfortunate, really.
IHOP has locations outside the U.S. as well! They're in Canada, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, India and Pakistan (source: Wikipedia). And Canadian teams also participate in the World Series.
You all missed out on allot of the wonderful food IHOP has by just trying different pancakes. They've got awesome omelets and sandwiches, their fries aren't the best, but they have some sides that are really good. Their crepes are great and I'm surprised you didn't notice how fluffy their scrambled eggs are, they mix pancake batter in the eggs
@@LindaC616 gotta be the grand slam breakfast for me! I always get a side of pancakes too because I can't choose between toast or pancakes. Though last time I was back (about ten years ago) they had these seasonal red velvet hush puppies and they were super good!
@sednonsatia lol, you're practically my twin! 🤣 I had not been to one in a long time, because 25 years ago, I was in Arizona on vacation, went to 1 at night, and got mugged. So there was just a bad Association. The two choices that I offered above are my niece's favorites, and I always love making people who are visiting this country and speak another language as their native language pronounce the rooty tooty just to hear them say it 😄
He switched to be a full-time stand-up comedian? Wow, mad props to him for having the courage. And he has 6 years of stage experience, neat. This guy is definitely much deeper than I thought him to be, gotta change the way I read people and surely I'm gonna dig this guy's work
1:06 Poor Brits man... But just a heads up for anyone outside of the US, coffee refills are usually free at MOST places. They surprisingly not free in most fast food joints or in specialty coffee shops.
So excited for all these episodes on the back log while Ollie heals up as well as the max in Korea series. Can’t wait to see carrot land when it’s ready
It's true that there are just sugary garbage, but as someone who doesn't like maple syrup, I would prefer to have the butter pecan or the strawberry if I'm going to have it and honey is not available
@@LindaC616 I get that maple syrup is not to everyone's taste. It isn't even my favorite but I prefer the real thing over the artificial garbage they have at IHOP. I am with you on honey, it is my preferred topping for both pancakes and waffles. Of course, IHOP probably uses fake honey as well.
I strongly suggest you two take a trip to southeast Louisiana. Look into the cuisine provided here. I’m very sure you will not be disappointed. Bon Temp Roulette!!!🎉🎉🎉
IHOP needs to serve peanut butter with their plain pancakes and waffles. Trust me. The peanut butter, syrup in the pancake/waffle adds a little something special to it.
Peanut butter is too much of an allergen risk for far too many people. Some people have potentially fatal reactions from being in a room with an open jar. It's one of the big 6 allergens.
I don't know about other IHOP's but mine does offer peanut butter on the side! They dont directly offer it to you when you order but you can always ask for some on the side!!!
@@karem2886 haven’t been to the Missouri one in awhile so can’t remember if they stopped carrying it or they charge for it. I’m 95% sure when I left IHOP had stopped having it

All of their syrups are artificial.

I think that's all, I remember they had 2 caddies of 8 pitchers.
@@colinschaeffer3940 So?
There are IHOPs outside of the U.S as well
Growing up in the 70s IHOP was much more focused on the "International" part - a much wider variety of 'pancakes' - crepes etc than the modern menu
Interesting
They still have Crepes, they're just not promoted heavily

Legend says that Josh is still SHOOKETH over the Flipping Buttered Pancake.
He’s a little old to be shocked by the idea of putting butter between pancakes.
I kind of am, too. I've always just taken part of the butter and (tried to) spread it between the stack. (And mostly failed to do it evenly, lol.)
@@emilywagner6354 Sounds like the quintessential pancake experience to me!

There is one IHOP near the airport in Guadalajara, Mexico, so it actually is international.
@Mark Trombly Oh I believe the 'international' part! Though I didn't guess that there'd be one in Mexico 🙂
There is also a IHOP in Nassau, Bahamas so it is international

Love that these guys are down to try a lot of food that Americans would find "basic". They want to experience and relate to the simple things, and it speaks to the heart! Now I want pancakes 😅
Gotta admit, as a Scandinavian, those are exactly they places I wanna go 😂. I was so excited when I went to Target last time I was in the States hahahhhaha. All my dreams coming true 😂😂
@@frejamller2416 haha! Target is extra basic, but I get it! Some things you just want to experience 🙂
@frejamller2416 I have had plenty of foreign co-workers and friends tell me the same thing! I'm known to be the person who will drive you around to those places, just so you can have the "typical" experience. Just for reference, the reason she left the coffee with them on the table was definitely because they were outside. Sometimes IHOP doesn't if they're busy, but usually, if you are inside, most diners in America, the waitress will come over and fill your coffee cup several times. They actually do more running and more work than anyone serving lunch or dinner, but breakfast prices are so low that even if you calculate the tip correctly, it's still not much. I always try to tip the waitresses extra at breakfast, because they're doing more legwork
@@frejamller2416when you get here, you have to at least notice if not order the rooty tooty fresh and fruity breakfast. It's the funniest thing on the menu at IHOP to pronounce!
@@LindaC616 Ohhh that makes sense with them being outside. One part of me is like "Oh nice, free refills. Wish we had that" but another part of me also finds it ridiculous how much time they have to spend on going back and forth. Would make me feel bad as a customer 😅. I come from Denmark but have also lived in England, so I´m used to the whole "you get what you paid for"-thing, as those two countries are pretty similar at that point. I´ve also lived several years in Korea tho, and there, you can free refills for for example water, but you usually go up and get it yourself. In Denmark, even water is often not refill 😭😭. I don´t know. It might be a Scandinavian/European thing or because I´ve been a waitress myself, but I´m so used to making myself as little as possible as a customer. I don´t wanna be in the way or give them more work than necessary.
Very nice of you to tip them extra tho. I´m sure they really appreciate it 🙏.
The sweetest thing I’ve ever had was around 2009 at an I-HOP. I was 8 years old, and they had this Dr. Seuss, 4 stack pancake with the strawberry frosting that’s on a donut, and tons of other sweet things. I couldn’t finish it.
I know this video is already a month old, and I know a lot of people have a tendency to skip over the sponsor - but I'm always really grateful when BetterHelp sponsors people!
I truly think that every person on earth could benefit from therapy, but it does tend to be pretty pricey. That being said, it's really nice that there are channels like JOLLY who use the service and will use the sponsor to help you get a discount on something you might genuinely need. I think mental health should be universal, same as physical health, as a Canadian. So, thank you for helping people take steps in the right direction when they might feel like they don't have any options.
I laugh a little when I see a Brit's reaction to our endless coffee or tea refills. Well, I guess most restaurants here in the US also give free refills for soft drinks too. When I go to Scotland, I try to remember that they don't give free 2nds for drinks, but I inevitably forget and end up shaking my head and smiling.
That's probably why we're so damn fat and strung out and easily offended 😅
I saw Steven on the thumbnail and my mind didn't register it at first, but then I was like, "IT'S BEN!" because Ben is my absolute favorite in his ER skits. 😆
I thought it was “international “ because of the pancake menu they offer different flavors that are from other countries. The Swedish crepes come to mind at the moment.
I can't believe they didn't get the Swedish pancakes!!! Those are the only thing I order there!
IHOP ... when they started promoting the acronym instead of the full name is when they started changing the menu and took all the international types of pancakes, crepes etc off. They used to have all kinds of pancake type foods from around the world. Last time I was there they still had the ligonberry crepes (Swedish crepes) and the chicken Florentine crepes. It's sad to see that the only other country represented now is Mexico (kind of).
Should've been house of international pancakes, then.
Oddly, we have places called The Original House of Pancakes where there are still international pancakes. They broke off a couple decades ago.
@@bethsmith3421 uh missing the obvious here.. BELGIUM. Not the different than routine Liege style made with more of a dough than batter, but still.... the classic round Belgian Waffle (whipped cream/strawberries) is present.
French toast can be traced all the way back to Ancient Rome (Pan Dulcis) and therefore it **does** qualify as international... BUT as far as modern day Americans are concerned, the modern style was whipped up by some guy named Joseph French who didnt use the possessive on the name... so that's why it has that label.
Similarly "German Chocolate Cake" has NOTHING AT ALL to do with Germany. The recipe was created by some woman with the family name of "German", so possessive apostrophe should also have been used there! LOL
When Ollie flipped that buttered pancack I shed a 😿 I thought was the only one did that. I was clowned so many times for doing it too.
IHOP is okay. They rank as a family restaurant, like Denny’s. They added to their menu over the decades. If you want really great hotcakes from a chain, try The Original House of Pancakes. They started out in our Pacific Northwest. The first one I went to was in the 80s and outside of San Diego. I think Cathedral City. Just before I moved out of the Riverside area they opened one near Norco. The difference is huge. But expect to wait to be seated unless you get there early. They are a good sized and very popular.
They are only open for breakfast and lunch. The pancakes always came warm enough to melt the butter. Unlike IHOP’s. Do ask for extra butter if you are getting a stack.
Love the original pancake house when it comes to food. Great pumpkin pancakes. The only issue is that my location is so fucking slow that it actually takes like an hour after ordering to get your food. Pretty good still.
Nice to see them collaborating with Steven who is a revelation.
They did not get the stuffed French toast, they did not get the stuffed Crepes, they did not get one of their delicious omelettes.
Steven doesn't seem to be into the food rhe way Noah is
Why do I read this like Dr Suess' Green Eggs and Ham?
"Delicious omelettes" They probably did not get one because they don't exist. IHOP is disgusting unless you are hammered at 2am.
@@951Bigjosh FALSE! IHOP has delicious omelets and breakfast food.
@@LindaC616 Yes
Seriously,
I have been waiting for this collab since the spoilers. Steve never disappoints! I am a huge fan of Austin, Ben and Rich. He’s such a genius! Looks so calm here though 😅
What’s that icon next to your name?
@@MK8MasterJunjieso sorry. Literally just noticed your question 🥺 It’s a symbol that I am a Jollybean, a paid member and it changes to different emojis depending on how long I have been a member ☺️
“Call 911 I’m retired” baby if you are a retired medical professional at your age you are killing it and I am so impressed. How fucking cool is that.
This was so fun to watch! Love seeing you guys with Steve!
I'm not gonna lie, I know I'm in the minority here but I'm not at all a fan of Steve. His whole schtick is him speaking to a camera and calling his audience curse words. And his fans eat it up like he's done something comedically revolutionary. There's no punchline, no joke, just "here's some healthcare facts, and now i'll say a curse word to make me seem edgy, so you guys know i'm not like the other healthcare content creators"
It already happened before mor on
I disagree. We asked. Practically groveled
100%
Who’s “we”??
@erik gonzalez fans of Jolly and Steven Ho, duh. Geez you guys are drier than the Mojave desert.
It's interesting to see someone amazed by free refills on coffee. I never thought about that not being a thing everywhere, it's so ubiquitous in America you're honestly shocked when places don't offer it haha
The last time I was at IHOP, they charged for refills. I was disappointed. I wonder if it depends on the location.
Have more British kids trying American food like you did with biscuits and gravy. A very good episode.
I loved that episode. So funny & honest. Well spoken well dressed thoughtful students.
Thank you, Steven's dad, for letting him come out and play with our two favorite Brits 😸 my vote will always be for the lingonberry crepes. And stay away from the ham, I think it's made from spare bicycle tires.
One thing that I thought they'd nail, but missed, was the mix of sweet and salty with the pancake/bacon combo, for me that combination is just divine. Also re: full English breakfast, yeah we don't put beans, roasted tomatoes, mushrooms, blood pudding amongst others.
As a monster fan of both these channels, a former EMT, and the very occasional patron of IHOP, this video was amazing. Steve makes the weird medical world hilarious.
I gotta start using that spread butter flip technique on my pancakes 😂
IKR... what a genius idea...or as the guys would say... that's brilliant...❤
Been doing it but with peanut butter
⚜️ I thought everyone did this! It's the perfect way to melt the butter into the bottom pancake.
My mother taught me to spread butter between every pancake. Nowadays, I prefer plain pancakes and only resort to butter when they are too dry.
This so definitely a worthy collab!!
Also Josh’s American accent is comping out again!!
the ER nurse..love him...all looks pretty good
A collab I never thought I wanted! Love seeing Steven on Jolly!
Made me smile when Steven added Tabasco to the ketchup..so good!!
OH MY GOD I would've never seen this collab coming!!!
When he put the ketchup and Tabasco together I knew we’d be friends!!
This concept is so amazing and these guys plus guests when they have them are always appealing-high 🎉mark's
Ollie calling the ham revolting was hilarious😂😂😂. I just luv them
Mind blowing when people from different genres meet. More please!!!!
I'm so surprised that the chocolate pancakes or red velvet cake pancakes weren't selected. This breakfast was so tame and like what you get for a picky little kid.
You can tell Steven picked it
Me as a Brit sitting on my very British sofa:
“ IHop looks great, where’s the nearest one?”
Closest to UK? Probably Augusta, Maine.
They are in at least 12 countries
Or New Brunswick Canada
@@boyscoutmatt There is an IHOP in Paris France and there is a IHOP in Germany.
@@jeffhampton2767 Someone should tell Wikipedia. Thanks.
Josh in awe of Tabasco sauce in ketchup is so sweet 😂
Stoked to see Sreven on here!! As a crusty AF ER RN, so glad to see him. He is so funny!!
So glad to see the doctor flip the pancake over after buttering it!!
More Steven Ho please. I'm glad Josh and Ollie have some great hosts for their American food tour.
I love that they are willing to try everything and anything on here. 👍🏼
Legend says that Josh is still SHOOKETH over the Flipping Buttered Pancake.. The collab we didn't ask for but definitely needed.
Please do more videos with Steven Ho. You all have good chemistry together. A collaboration we didn’t ask for, however enjoy watching this video so much! ❤
Agreed ^^^
💯 ❤
My father and I go to IHOP every Saturday! Fantastic video, y’all! Keep it up!
wow.. oyu have apparently no concern about calorie intake, AND you have a better budget than I do! LOL
What a wonderful tradition you and your father have ❤ He must make him happy to look forward to his Sundays with you all week! 😊
And IHOP is in 21 different countries, so I think the term International does apply... even if it's not in the UK. Also, maybe the word "International" describes the cuisine they once or still offer, not where it is. Kind of like "International House London", or "London International Airport" which is just in London, by the way, lol.
Countries that have IHOPs: United States, Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, Panama, Ecuador, Guam, India, Pakistan, Peru, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Bahrain, Guatemala, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Lebanon, Philippines, and Northern Mariana Islands.
Josh is the British Mark Wiens. The expressions and wow on everything.
the buttered pancake flip. a veteran alcoholic move 😂😂😂
More episodes with Stevie pls ❤ I swear I can hear you guys talk and make jokes for hours 😂
My former girlfriend originally hailed from England and I would often visit IHOP for the night breakfast at 02.00 in the morning. We always ordered corned beef hash as side dish. I miss IHOP after I moved back to Germany...
Corned Beef and Hash! I grew up with it in the Midwest and it's not typically found in North Florida restaurants. I miss it so much 😋
Ketchup and tobasco is a MUST! Surprised you didn't get a biscuit! Pancake butter flip is essential so the syrup doesn't melt the butter off 😉 I'm so glad you tried the stuffed french toast, cheese on everything!
no, its salsa and hot sauce.
What a great collab, guys! Thanks ❤
Steveio! So glad to see this collab!
The World Series _is_ international. The Montreal Expos(until 2004) and Toranto Blue Jays aren't from the US.
It's funny the pandemic is mentioned in this video, because I believe the quality of the IHOP experience drastically decreased during the pandemic and never really picked up afterwards. A lot of menu options decreased and because they took away all condiments from the tables, bringing new people to try IHOP was no longer fun. You had to ask for anything you needed, instead of having it readily available to you without asking-but at least the pancakes are still delicious!
True, but that's not on them, that's what they were required to do
@@LindaC616 Yeah, I know it wasn't their fault, but the IHOP experience hasn't been the same, unfortunately. What made it different from all other diners was gone. It's unfortunate, really.
IHOP has locations outside the U.S. as well! They're in Canada, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, India and Pakistan (source: Wikipedia). And Canadian teams also participate in the World Series.
You all missed out on allot of the wonderful food IHOP has by just trying different pancakes. They've got awesome omelets and sandwiches, their fries aren't the best, but they have some sides that are really good. Their crepes are great and I'm surprised you didn't notice how fluffy their scrambled eggs are, they mix pancake batter in the eggs
Their fries aren't the best? Now them's fightin words!
Oh, I love that guy! Two of my favs together!!
Great to see you three together. Do some more in the future.
Yessss the nostalgia! As an expat of 13 years I wish I could sit down to a late breakfast at IHOP or Denny's.
I've been out of the States for 2 years, and I just added IHOP to my mental list of places to go when I go back next year.
Root Tooty? Or Moons over My hammy?
@@zealous121 I hope you enjoy! ❤️
@@LindaC616 gotta be the grand slam breakfast for me! I always get a side of pancakes too because I can't choose between toast or pancakes. Though last time I was back (about ten years ago) they had these seasonal red velvet hush puppies and they were super good!
@sednonsatia lol, you're practically my twin! 🤣
I had not been to one in a long time, because 25 years ago, I was in Arizona on vacation, went to 1 at night, and got mugged. So there was just a bad Association. The two choices that I offered above are my niece's favorites, and I always love making people who are visiting this country and speak another language as their native language pronounce the rooty tooty just to hear them say it 😄
7:18 Josh is so easily impressed 😅 That's exactly how I spread the butter/syrup if I have more than one pancake
He switched to be a full-time stand-up comedian? Wow, mad props to him for having the courage. And he has 6 years of stage experience, neat. This guy is definitely much deeper than I thought him to be, gotta change the way I read people and surely I'm gonna dig this guy's work
1:06
Poor Brits man...
But just a heads up for anyone outside of the US, coffee refills are usually free at MOST places. They surprisingly not free in most fast food joints or in specialty coffee shops.
Classic pancakes with butter and blueberry syrup are my favorite! Next is the country fried steak 😋
You could tell Ollie was stressed over that ham trampoline when he didn't immediately call it a "hampoline" 😅
These pancakes look really soft and delicious. I wish I was there to try them🥲
Steven and Jolly??? Amazing. Invite Austin, Rich, and Ben next time, too, please : )
So excited for all these episodes on the back log while Ollie heals up as well as the max in Korea series. Can’t wait to see carrot land when it’s ready
Ach : what happened to Josh!?!
Love your concern for your own mental health and for your sponsorship with BetterHealth.
The syrup selection is something else!
They have many different ones but they are all garbage with artificial flavors and mostly HFCS. I hate, I mean loathe, artificial fruit flavors.
It's true that there are just sugary garbage, but as someone who doesn't like maple syrup, I would prefer to have the butter pecan or the strawberry if I'm going to have it and honey is not available
@@LindaC616 I get that maple syrup is not to everyone's taste. It isn't even my favorite but I prefer the real thing over the artificial garbage they have at IHOP. I am with you on honey, it is my preferred topping for both pancakes and waffles. Of course, IHOP probably uses fake honey as well.
I love Steven! His facial expressions convey what everyone is thinking and wanting to say out loud 😂😂
I strongly suggest you two take a trip to southeast Louisiana. Look into the cuisine provided here. I’m very sure you will not be disappointed. Bon Temp Roulette!!!🎉🎉🎉
When I feel a bit down, I know that I can watch one of your videos and feel a little bit happier. That’s guys. I really enjoy your work.
Damn I love Steve. I just found jolly and I like their content as well. Interesting to see creators collab like this. Love it.
IHOP needs to serve peanut butter with their plain pancakes and waffles. Trust me. The peanut butter, syrup in the pancake/waffle adds a little something special to it.
Ah someone else who puts PB on their pancakes. Do u have it on waffles as well?
Peanut butter is too much of an allergen risk for far too many people. Some people have potentially fatal reactions from being in a room with an open jar. It's one of the big 6 allergens.
I don't know about other IHOP's but mine does offer peanut butter on the side! They dont directly offer it to you when you order but you can always ask for some on the side!!!
Waffle House has a pb waffle option and it’s fantastic!
@@karem2886 haven’t been to the Missouri one in awhile so can’t remember if they stopped carrying it or they charge for it. I’m 95% sure when I left IHOP had stopped having it
Wow! Jolly is really collaborating with people who I actually watch. I love Steven!!
I desperately want an IHOP coffee mug.
I’m an American living in the UK. I so miss the American breakfast diner scene. Thanks for this video. xx
THE SLOWMO ON THE PANCAKE FLIP TOOK ME OUT LMAOOOO
Two of my favorite UA-cam channels I one video. Love it.
