We Tried All of the Pancakes from IHOP _ Taste Test _ Food Network
### IHOP’s International House of Pancakes: A Taste Test Adventure
Today on *Taste Test*, we’re bringing you an exciting journey to the International House of Pancakes (IHOP) right here at Food Network Studios. In this episode, we’re diving into every single flavor of pancakes that IHOP has to offer. From classic originals to international twists, we’re not holding back—let’s get started!
#### The Setup
The host begins by expressing their excitement: “I’m so jazzed, this looks and smells amazing, I’m so excited!” Their enthusiasm is contagious, and they can’t wait to dive in. Reflecting on their past experiences with IHOP, the host admits they weren’t a regular growing up—preferring Perkins instead—but now, they’re all about pancakes.
Before diving into the stacks, the host reminds viewers to subscribe to the channel and hit the notification bell to stay updated on new episodes. “There’s not enough syrup,” one of the guests jokes, emphasizing how much syrup they’d like to have on hand. The conversation shifts to a debate about pancake toppings—whether to pour syrup directly or keep it on the side. One guest admits they prefer their syrup on the side, jokingly comparing it to a bowl of soup.
#### The Taste Test Begins
The host gushes over the presentation and aroma of the pancakes, calling it “the best taste test I’ve had.” They describe the original pancake as salty with hints of butter both in the batter and on top, labeling them “really standard good pancakes” with no need for extra notes—they’re simply perfect.
Next up is the cannoli-inspired pancake. The guest describes it as having a lot of stuffing inside, dominated by cream and chocolate flavors. They joke that this might not be something you’d find in Italy but still declare it delicious. Another flavor tested is a cinnamon caramel variety, which smells and tastes like the filling of a cinnamon roll. Despite their initial skepticism about whipped cream on pancakes, one guest admits they’re enjoying it.
#### International Flavors
The conversation shifts to international twists on the classic pancake. One flavor resembles a churro, with a fluffier texture that reminds one guest of Hong Kong’s giant fluffy toast smothered in condensed milk. Another pancake is inspired by Mexico, featuring a tres leches cake-like richness. The host and guest discuss how each flavor pays homage to different global cuisines while maintaining the IHOP signature taste.
#### Fruit and Philosophy
Fruit toppings come under scrutiny next. The guests debate whether fruit belongs on pancakes versus inside them, with one guest preferring fresh fruit on top for a daily serving of healthy produce. Another pancake flavor tested is a funfetti-style cake, which they jokingly suggest as the perfect birthday breakfast.
#### Final Thoughts
As they wrap up their taste test, the guests reflect on their favorites. The original pancake earns high praise for its simplicity and buttery goodness. Other standout flavors include the churro-inspired stack and the funfetti cake. The host admits to not being a fan of chocolate chip pancakes, likening them to hot cocoa mix, while others enjoy them.
In conclusion, the guests express how much they enjoyed their international journey without leaving the studio. They thank the audience for tuning in and tease the next episode, ending with a friendly “Bye!”
This *Taste Test* episode is a testament to the diverse and delicious world of pancakes, proving that IHOP’s international flavors are worth every bite. Whether you prefer classic or global twists, there’s something for everyone!
