Stuffed French Toast Debuts at IHOP Restaurants Nationwide
GLENDALE, Calif., March 4-- IHOP (NYSE: IHP) is cooking up some new "stuff" this spring, as the family favorite has its grills hot for Stuffed French Toast, a delectable treat that combines the tradition of comfort food with an element of surprise. A limited time special, IHOP's new Stuffed French Toast is available at locations nationwide now through April 27, 2003.
Developed by IHOP's executive chef Monte Loiacono, Stuffed French Toast
features an abundance of whipped cream cheese inside a fluffy slice of
cinnamon raisin bread dipped in IHOP's special French toast batter and grilled to a golden brown. Guests may choose from a variety fruit toppings, including strawberries, blueberries and cinnamon apples along with whipped topping to crown their Stuffed French Toast. Available as part of a combo meal with breakfast favorites such as eggs, hash browns and bacon or sausage, Stuffed French Toast can be ordered for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
"Stuffed French Toast is part of our continuing effort to bring new and unique products to IHOP guests," said Gregg Nettleton, chief marketing officer, IHOP Corp. "Stuffed French Toast gives our loyal guests a new reason to visit IHOP this spring, and it also encourages those who may not have come to IHOP lately, to rediscover us again."

Even though it was a Monday following a weekend of eating like crazy, I got back on the horse and moseyed up to the salad bar. This morning I realized how much more cereal and banana I wanted; I am experimenting with eating my portion, then just living with it. It's hard, and something I repeatedly most come to grips with. I sure miss the days of just eating the cereal out of the box with a wild abandon.
