I saw an ad for IHOP today - bacon and egg cheeseburger, "It's
What We're Known For".

Now I'm not so old that I don't remember that the "P" in "IHOP"
stands for "Pancakes", but I'm sure old enough to NOT remember
they have a "Bacon and Egg Cheeseburger".

I just don't see making a national commercial promoting it. Maybe
Lou and the rest of RFC unwittingly revived interest in the "Egg
on Burger" theme <shrug>
