edit: I love how Europeans still struggle to believe that these are what America sees as pancakes. For context, these buttermilk pancakes were so big that I only ordered two and could only eat half of the second one. If you went to our “International House of Pancakes(IHOP)” and ordered pancakes, this is what you’d get. America really is on another level.
A few years ago I moved from the Southeastern US to the Pacific Northwest. The upgrade in diner food from Waffle House to Black Bear blew my mind.
In my opinion I’ve rather have waffle House than black bear anytime. Black Bear diner is bland boring old person food whereas waffle House at least comes with fights.
Ehh. Waffle House has the worst grits I’ve ever tasted, and there’s no excuse for that in the South.
It tickles the crap oudda me how aggro southerners can get over grits
Black bear is mid teir as well. The best pancakes are likely to come from your mom and pop place where the people cooking actually know how to cook homestyle americana well, not just random minimum wage workers
