hello everyone this is running on empty
food review listen I'm gonna get
straight to the point we have a very
serious problem here and I don't even
know I don't even know where to begin
you ever hear the man that what effect
where people will sometimes say that
this event happened at this time even
though no concrete proof exists of it
that certain geographical phenomena are
completely incorrect
that Madagascar actually used to be
between China and New Zealand but now
it's off the coast of Africa you know
what I'm talking about and for the
longest time I you know I didn't believe
any of that I thought that can't be
possible
but but today I'm I don't know I'm
rethinking everything I remember for
years I mean for at least the last ten
ten plus years I hop used to be called I
hop they had pancakes but they also had
burgers they always had burgers I even
remembered reviewing a burger from
theirs once before
and I remember trying them I remember
enjoying them now all of a sudden are
called IHOP and and I guess I guess they
have burgers I don't know what's going
on I just remember that they always they
always had burgers but now all of a
sudden they just they just have them I
don't know if there's some weird men
that will affect stuff going on or if
everyone just fell for a corporate
marketing scheme but either way I hop is
now I hob and they're actually still
called I hop no one everyone thinks
they're called IHOP but it's IHOP and
some brilliant advertising whoever
really went ahead and signed this idea
off deserves a promotion because they
fooled everyone everyone thinks that
they're now a burger chain and that it's
permanent and whatnot but the fact of
the matter is that I hop is still I hop
they have pancakes they've always had
burgers and this is just a marketing
gimmick to try to promote their burgers
and more because sales are blankly down
and they're thinking well what do we do
let's try viral marketing and it worked
said let's take a trip over to IHOP for
IHOP as they now call it and let's pick
up a burger and let's try it out let's
see how good it is these new IHOP
burgers are so let's check it out
all right its voiceover time there's the
sign you can see it very clearly reads I
hob i hob with a B you could see the
parking lot is packed I mean look at all
the people there there's a line going
out the door every single parking spot
is occupied that car carrier that you
saw at the beginning was actually
chauffeuring people still in their cars
to to get to IHOP and you can see I mean
business is incredible the burger
promotion is really really working you
can just see that line just going out
the door must be at least at least 200
people they're finally making our way
into the restaurant there you can see
it's even more hectic every seat every
table completely occupied standing room
only
you can see that everyone's there
waiting for the burgers you can see all
the decor reads I hob with Abbey and
everyone's there they're all waiting for
the burgers packed house you could see
the line still going out the door though
there it's incredible I was shocked I
was even able to get in absolutely
incredible it was a madhouse
it's the only way to put it absolute
insanity and now the moment we've all
been waiting for
I tried the classic with bacon from IHOP
i hob sorry so we kind of saw what it
looked like let me hold this up for you
there it is
classic bacon yes it kind of that's
alright it's alright this is what it
looks like
it is a decent-sized burger that I'll
tell you will have to rip a little bit
of the lettuce off just so it looks more
proportionate I'll eat it later and
we'll go from there okay this is what it
looks like yeah I am with it classic
with bacon
burgers so you know what it has on it
just the beef patty cheese IHOP sauce
bacon lettuce tomato and onion all right
I'm gonna try it and let you know what
it tastes like the classic with bacon
for my hob going in
the classic with bacon that's me
removing my sunglasses when I say that
add emphasis
classic with bacon one of my hapa are
hubs sorry new burgers how is it what
does it taste like this burger is
something that I would consider to be a
diner quality look back at the video
that I did when I was talking about
Denny's think of the burger then it's
like a diner style burger this is
identical to it pretty much it's higher
quality than something that you might
get at McDonald's Burger King Wendy's
the price is a little more expensive to
a pretty good meal though overall for
the price for nine bucks you got
yourself this burger drink and fries
which is yeah not bad for nine dollars
especially takeout but more importantly
value can be good but does it taste fit
to be at a good price but if it tastes
terrible it's not worth it
burger itself I can't complain about it
all it looked a bit messy when I picked
it up may not have been the prettiest
burger you know they're really doing
this advertising campaign full force of
course they're really gonna be focusing
on presentation what it looks like
getting a picture perfect on their
website in the ads on social media
etcetera so of course there's always
going to be that expectations vs.
reality conundrum that does exist when
it comes down to this burger don't
expect it to look as pretty as it does
online or what that one Instagram star
was blogging about or whatever you're
seeing on this burger as it might not
look as pretty but it tastes good I
really haven't any complaints any
grievances I know I'm I've been really
sarcastic about this because I think all
the incredible promotion is a little a
little overboard for just some burgers
but that's just the way life is but for
what it is I can't complain have I had
better burgers absolutely it's not the
best burger I've ever had but at the
same time I really haven't any terrible
disappointments with it either it's like
a good diner style burger pretty thick
juicy tasty can't complain there in
terms of how the meat is the ingredients
are fresh
definitely some good flavor in the
tomato and the lettuce the onions are
pretty potent one thing I just wish that
the bacon was a little crispier it was a
little when I was cooked okay but it
just was a little chewy I would have
liked it to have a little bit more crisp
eNOS to it but otherwise I can't really
complain when it comes down to the
burger as I said it's like a sit-down
Denny's diner style burger think of it
that way if you have that type of vision
you know exactly what this burger is
gonna have what it's gonna be like not
gonna be the best burger ever but it's
gonna be far from the worst either gonna
get a good portion size gonna taste
pretty good and you know as I said
they're really promoting it it's a big
gimmick but for a pancake place they do
have a pretty solid burger and that's
the honest truth I really can't complain
I didn't know if this is just some sort
of weird marketing gimmick that the
burgers are just getting really stale
and freezer-burned sitting there and
they're just trying to lighten the load
or if they're really trying to promote
this and they seem to do a good job I
mean it's it's not a not a bad burger by
any means again I think the hype is
unnecessary but again whoever did this
whole campaign really deserves a
promotion or raise at the very least and
on a bonus they give you this huge
pickle slice we were just talking about
the pickle slushies in the last video so
for all you pickle fanatics out there
you could just ring that thing up like a
towel in your mouth and they had a bonus
or any of you want to live that kind of
life so price for this $9.00 carryout
again comes with the complimentary side
and drink which I can't complain the
fries are average which you know it's
alright they're really not marketing the
fries they're marketing the burgers and
the burger for what it is
as I said good portion size pretty fresh
can't complain again it's like a diner
style burger with that being said out of
10 I'm going to be raiding this burger
with bacon what am I going to be rating
it out of ten I'm going to be giving
this an 8.5 out of 10
because again despite the hype despite
the marketing I think they did a pretty
good job with this sandwich and I think
it tastes pretty good that's all that I
have for you ladies and gentlemen
today's review was for the new I hob
burgers the the grand quest to finally
find explore this this new fascinating
world of IHOP but I have burgers delve
into it enter the rabbit hole find out
what these burgers what mystery lieth
within them and find out what they taste
like
III I really remain steadfast in the
assertion that this is the most
thrilling action short of the summer of
2018 it's an incredible incredible story
full of twists and turns and I hope this
kept you on the edge of your seat as it
certainly did for me that's all that I
have for you thank you for watching this

wanted to have a little bit of fun with

it myself and kind of make a little play
on the whole marketing strategy that's
all I have for you stay tuned for
another video coming up at some point
