2. Ooh, sounds good. Our nearest IHOP is 15 miles away, though.

The local pancake house, 3 miles away, where we know the owner, one of the cooks, and three of the waitresses, has a Boston Cream French Toast item that must be about 5,000 calories all by itself. I can proudly say that the last two times I've been there, I've had salads. They make a Mediterranean salad that remains interesting all the way to the bottom of the bowl. By which I mean, it doesn't devolve into a bowl of lettuce halfway through like some salads do.

More and more I find myself gravitating to businesses where I know somebody. It's my personal attempt at buying local.
