IHOP is making a sizzling side dish the main entrée.
Bacon is getting its own menu at the pancake house with a thick-cut, steakhouse-style variety of the breakfast staple slathered in maple glaze, IHOP announced Tuesday.
The "Bacon Obsession" menu features bacon the chain describes as "five times thicker" than its regular bacon. And while the breakfast meat can be ordered solo, IHOP also has it featured on new menu items like the Steakhouse Premium Bacon Burger and a Maple Bacon Milkshake.
The breakfast staple will be served all day through June 13. IHOP's menu will also include Candied Bacon Pancakes that are loaded with hickory-smoked bacon bits; a Steakhouse BLT; Bacon Lovers Combo, which are two Candied Bacon Pancakes with slabs of the thick-cut breakfast meat; and the Oreo ‘N Bacon Waffle Sundae among other items.
"As guests begin to return to restaurants, we know they’re looking for broadly appealing and familiar comfort foods, as well as new ways to enjoy classic favorites, and bacon is the perfect option that fits both needs," Jay Johns, President at IHOP, said in a statement.
IHOP teased the release of its "premium" thick-cut bacon on social media, leading some food critics to address the hype.

LOL..........
So whatever happened to slab bacon? In my misspent youth I used to buy chunks of slab bacon and make thick slices like that - pure bacon heaven. I haven’t seen slab bacon for retail sale in many years now - the only chunk bacon I can get is hog jowl, which I also greatly enjoy, but I would stick with slab bacon if I could get it. I even tried a few places that butcher hogs - if I wanted to buy a whole hog they would save me the bacon in chunks, but otherwise not.
bacon five times thicker is called ‘ham’
consult your local butcher
if yer british or canadian...
Now I know where I’m going to be eating this weekend!
I used to go to a restaurant where they had a BLT that was made with 1 lb (uncooked) bacon!

#9. Update on the Rachel Corrie special. Now the waiter asks you if you “want eyeballs with those pancakes” as well as syrup.
#32. You’d break your teeth just trying to pronounce what you wanted.
