IHop

The first International House of Pancakes restaurant opened in 1958 in Toluca Lake, California, under the direction of founder Al Lapin, Jr. Soon enough IHop started to spread all over the United States and Canada. What IHop stands for is International House of Pancakes. In 2008, IHOP celebrates their 50th at the first location in beginnings in Toluca Lake, California they've become one of America's favorite restaurants, with over 1,400 locations coast to coast.

Last time I went to IHop was during the summer, at the location in Niagara Falls, and you gotta order a pancake, that's the whole point of IHOP (international house of PANCAKES!). So I definitely got the New York Cheesecake Pancakes; cheese cake is my favorite, and added with pancakes is just MMMM. 

So the New York Cheesecake Pancake is four fluffy buttermilk pancakes loaded with creamy, rich cheesecaked pieces of crowned with cool strawberries, powdered sugar and whipped topping.

Yes this completely sounds unhealth and loaded with calories, but if you think about it this way, you eat this for breakfast exercise throughout the day or just be active, and damn all of that is about 1100 calories !! That's crazy, you definitely need to exercise considering you need bout 2000 calories a day, and that's only BREAKFAST.

My sister and I at IHop in Niagara Falls ! Definitely going back there soon enough :)

I had to take a picture of my pancake, it was just too good ! :$

Quiznos Sub

Quiznos is one of my favorite fast food restaurant despite the fact that the one near my house got closed down. But by researching about this restaurant, there was about 1000 restaurants that were closed down between 2007 and 2009. They are now attempting new strategies to grow the chain back. The company specializes in offering toasted subs, although they may be served untoasted if the customer asks. Both Subway  and Quiznos are the top largest submarine sandwich shop  chain in North America, Quiznos second in line of course.  

In 1978, is when Terrell Braly and others changed a closed gas station called "Sinclair" in Denver, Colorado into a sandwich shop which was called "Sandwich World". From the manager at the time; Hussain "Jeff" Jaffarie. After when "Sandwich World" went into new management, the take over changed the name to Quiznos.

(Full credits to Wikipedia; it helped me find the information for the management, total of locations, restaurant title and such...)

So when there used to be a Quiznos in the plaza of The Square Market and Shoppers Drug Mart, my dad used to send my sister and I all the time to go get subs, and our top favorable one was the Roast Beef Submarine. It's not that we didn't try any other kind, it's just this sub honestly satisfied you to the point where you'd keep coming back for more. And surprisingly this sandwich is all under 500 calories, which is good compared to others.

Roast beef, mozzarella, chopped lettuce and tomatoes, mayo and toasted ;) We also got the Chicken Caesar salad , best salad I've ever eaten; Chicken, Italian cheese blend, tomatoes, Peppercorn Caesar dressing. 

Yup sounds like it tastes amazing. Last time I had this was between 2007 to 2009 considering that's when 1000 of them closed, including the one next to my house. But I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have one in the next week for old time sakes!
