If you have not already done so, check out my piece for The Root on IHOP’s decision to tap into blackfolks’ fondness for this dish, as evidenced by the menus of many Southern or soul food restaurants around the country. The novelty of this dish on its menu may help improve IHOP’s bottom line, but what about the waistlines of its patrons, especially blacks? I wrote the article to focus on IHOP's "discovery" of this dish, but it does make me wonder about health consequences. What do you think?
