Bob’s Big Boy got a Halloween makeover
October 7th, 2024 under Fast Food. [ Comments: none ]

Back in August, a car hit a fire hydrant, and it scalped the Bob’s Big Boy statue in Downey, California.

Since then, he has stood there without his pompadour. But not anymore. He got a makeover, and it will blow your mind. That is because the burger joint gave him a mind, as in brains. Along with the mind matter, they painted his skin green, thus making him look like a Zombie for Halloween!

And now I hope they never fix him! Because this is perfect. Although, as someone who lives within walking distance to the Burbank Bob’s, I hope they step up their game.

Loverboy goes from Workin’ for the Weekend to IHOP
October 1st, 2024 under Fast Food. [ Comments: none ]

For 33 years, we have been singing Loverboy’s Workin’ for the Weekend the same way now as we have been doing since 1981.

So when the people at the International House of Pancakes decided they needed a song for their new campaign, they called Loverboy and asked for permisson to use it. Not only that, they asked the band to re-record the song with lyrics that fit the campaign. They were like; we used to eat there all the time on the road, so they said yes, but with a little hesitation.

“I was a little nervous about doing a campaign for a restaurant, but it is one of my favorites,” admits Loverboy singer and co-founder Mike Reno told Variety. “Who doesn’t like pancakes, right?”

Not only do they like breakfast restaurant, but they also like reimagining their hit single. “We had a blast doing this,” Dean says. “We bordered on being silly, but that’s fine. It was just a fun thing we didn’t take too seriously. We were all totally in on the joke.”

There is nothing more Rockin’ than having fun with your music for a good cause.

And this good cause was to get the word out about IHOP”s new House Faves menu items.

IHOP’s House Faves menu includes the following four items for just $6 each:

  • Breakfast Faves Combo (2x2x2): Two of IHOP’s fluffy, world-famous buttermilk pancakes, two eggs, and two bacon strips or two pork sausage links.
  • Ham & Cheese Omelette: A ham, jack & cheddar, and white cheese sauce omelette, served with 2 of IHOP’s fluffy, world-famous buttermilk pancakes.
  • French Toast Breakfast: One slice of Classic Thick ‘N Fluffy French Toast, two bacon strips or two pork sausage links, and two eggs.
  • House Scramble with Hash Brown: Eggs scrambled with chopped hickory-smoked bacon and jack & cheddar cheese. Served with crispy hash browns.

The $6 menu items are available Monday through Friday from 7am-10pm.
