IHOP US-46 Totowa, NJ

Where:

IHOP 
360 Route 46, Totowa, NJ

What:
Cheeseburger Omelette

Build:
This omelette is loaded with all your favorites. It’s made with ground beef, grilled and diced with hash browns, tomatoes, onions and American cheese, and topped off with ketchup, mustard and pickles.

Comments:
Don't do it.

Good thought, great concept, visually appealing, but it doesn't work. The textures of the ingredients alone are so mismatched I couldn't get one mouthful that tasted good enough for me to want another forkful. And when eggs and pickles collied, I want out - that's a flavor combination that really doesn't work together. The omelette (eggs) was also very dry which I think you can see from the photos. 

Too bad, this IHOP (Totowa, NJ) is usually spot-on with their breakfast fare. But I'm not going to bash the place, every one's entitled to an off-day. But this is not about overdone eggs, it's about the corporate office that thought this was a good idea, but in reality, it set all their franchiee's up for failure.

The next time I visit I'll be ordering the IHOP Mega Monster Burger (photo at the bottom of this page).  I never thought to try a burger at an IHOP, but it looks like it's got potential.

The very best pancakes I ever ate.

Two burger patties with American and White Cheddar cheeses, served on a grilled Brioche bun with lettuce, tomato and red onion.

(found it on the Internet)

Although looking nothing like the glamour shot, the bun nowhere near "grilled", and the obvious absence of tomato and onion, I'm still going to give it a shot.
