The mere mention of French Toast brings back a lot of memories of my mom dishing this out once a week at least and me happily chomping it down. I have noticed the French Toast we get in IHOP is a little different from the one we make at home because the ones we find here are not sweet (maybe just a little) but they are accompanied by maple syrup whereas the ones we ate growing up are sweet since they have sugar in the batter. The recipe here includes sugar in the batter and can be served with a little sliver of butter.
An interesting fact about the dish is that chefs recommends using day old bread since the stale bread will soak up more egg mixture without falling apart. When you buy bread from grocery stores they are definitely a day old so I guess we always meet that criteria
