Cassidee Dabney has one of the more coveted jobs in her field: executive chef of the Barn at Blackberry Farm, an award-winning restaurant, both luxurious and deeply connected to the land, in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. But she got her start, and a certain prestige, at an Applebee’s in Fayetteville, Ark. In her town, she said, “telling people you work at Applebee’s was like telling them you worked at Per Se.” That job, making salads and French fries while she was in high school, has shaped how Ms. Dabney runs her kitchen at Blackberry Farm. She...

I don't go out of my way to determine the political affinities of establishments where I spend my consumer dollars. But they should understand that that doesn't mean I'll simply ignore their bad behaviors when they corporately and symbolically spit in my face over a political or cultural issue. Thus, I have not darkened the doors of a Dick's or a Target store in some years now, nor have I had a bowl of any Kellogg's cereal since I can last remember. Too many of our corporate executives discount the inconvenient truth that so many American consumers, once lost by...

IHOP is joining the mass of advertisers abandoning Fox News host Tucker Carlson's show after his controversial comments about immigration last week. "At our core, we stand for welcoming folks from all backgrounds and beliefs into our restaurants and continually evaluate advertising to ensure it aligns with our values," IHOP said in a statement to Business Insider. "In this case, we will no longer be advertising on this show." At least 12 advertisers have stopped advertising on the show since last week, according to The Hollywood Reporter, whichfirst reported the news that IHOP was cutting ties with Tucker Carlson's show. Last...

I was watching Tucker Carlson and came across this creepy but totally hilarious commercial. It is so funny at the end because if we were in that guy's place I am sure we would scream my head off too. Because coming across a talking pumpkin head would indeed be a scary as hell thing!

"We're giving away 60¢ short stacks on July 17 from 7a-7p for IHOP's 60th birthday. That's right, IHOP!

One of the core beliefs at Bethel Church in Redding, California, is the need for new revelation from God, which is in contrast to the so-called old revelation of the Bible as it has been understood for the past 2,000 years. New revelation can refer to many different things. It includes knowledge about what’s currently taking place in heaven and new interpretations of Scripture that are based on direct revelation from the Holy Spirit, apart from a historical and grammatical hermeneutic. It also includes what Johnson calls “new revelation of Jesus.” And it includes creative ideas–such as fresh music lyrics...

In late 2011, a 16-year-old girl from suburban St. Louis landed her first job as a waitress at a local IHOP restaurant. She needed to work there for at least a year to complete her high school co-op program. At first, it made her uncomfortable when her boss repeatedly complimented her appearance. Within a few months, his behavior made her terrified to go to work. The Illinois teen's fear of getting fired — and not graduating on time — led her to put up with escalating sexual harassment from the restaurant's general manager, according to allegations described in federal court...

A local IHOP waiter went from serving pancakes to serving up justice on a would-be robber. Turns out, the bad guy messed with a third-degree black belt... "I like, ran up. He like, swung the crowbar at me. I blocked with [my left] arm, I hit him with [my right] hand and I pulled him to the ground. During that process, I don't know if my face hit the register or hit the ground - because he has a scar on his head and I have a big old bloody nose now."

Alabama police arrested a man from Huntsville this weekend on terrorism charges. Aziz Sayyed, 22, a Muslim originally from North Carolina but who lived in the Middle East for some years, was taken into custody and the details of the case have yet to be released. The details of his crime will likely be revealed by authorities in the coming weeks. What is more interesting- and in our opinion, relevance- to this incident is his employer. Tayseer is that he is the franchise owner of not just one, but a chain of IHOP restaurants, and as with all franchises, they...
