Lia Fat and protein will not make you fat Carbs make you fat. 20 carbs or less a day, the weight just falls off. I lost 85 lb doing this.. half a pound a day. Kept it off for years. So eat all the bacon eggs, ham, steaks, shrimps dipped in butter.. broccoli asparagus, 20 carbs or less a day and it's like a cheat code in life. When you eat low carb you burn fat, because your body needs sugar, so it's going to take it from your fat. When you eat carbs in your diet, but reduce your calorie intake, you burn muscle. 20 carbs or less a day, for 90 days. And you will completely reset your hormones. Your insulin resistance will reset as well. Insulin is needed anytime our blood sugar rises, just like any drug, if you use it all the time you need more and more to get the same effect.. eventually this is diabetes type 2, when you just cannot keep up with the amount of insulin you need. Before you ever get to diabetes type 2, periodically do the keto diet for 90 days and completely reset your insulin. Just like an alcoholic that goes 90 days without a drink, one drink will get you snockered. When you do go back to eating carbs after 90 days, just the slightest amount of insulin will get the job done

Lia, where is the syrup? For your pancakes? When you order your bacon tell them cook it crispy.

[@williamcooper2415]

As a rule, tea is leeched in porcelain, because it stains everything else and porcelain allows washing, where any other type of material would leave behind a bitter taste to fresh water. As the saying goes, "Never wash the tea pot." Also, porcelain tea pots are expensive and extremely difficult to keep from breaking, so stainless is used for transporting the hot water, and a much cheaper and easier to clean and handle porcelain cup is used. Also, tea bags are individual serving sized, so putting it in a cup, guarantees the maximum amount per serving, per customer. Also, if several people want tea, they only need one kettle, because the various types or flavors, is leeched at each person's cup. Earl Grey for Joel and Green Tea for Lia.

[@feversol]

At 76 years of age, like others, I must admit I've never seen salt sprinkled on a pancake nor did I know it was finger food!

[@keywestconch8]

My husband is Navajo. His tribe puts butter and salt on tortillas so it wasn't a blink when she put salt on her buttered pancakes. It makes sense to both of us. Besides we use salted butter anyway and I never put syrup on my pancakes. I eat them like a sandwich as Lia did.

[@txgal2986]

I thought that was funny. I’d love a video of the staff’s reaction to watching them! 😂 Anytime someone goes to another country and eats the local Faire, I’m sure there’s a learning curve. I’d probably be laughed at, if I went somewhere else. I am surprised they liked Denny’s over IHOP. I love Joel’s idea of what IHOP stands for! 😆 I’ll always think of that, when going there from now on. Great video, Joel & Lia!

[@gravis778]

Except at IHOP they have the pecan syrup! I usually get maple at most places, but at IHOP I'm going for the pecan

[@gravis778]

Also, ask for A1 sauce - I'm told by my British friends is the same thing as Brown Sauce. We eat it with steak, but I bet it would be quite good with breakfast. Most places have it if you ask for it. I'm also told Heinz 57 is similar. I've never had brown sauce, but A1 is more savory and Heinz 57 boarders on being sweet

[@robertdendooven7258]

[@jefflewis4]

The little steel pitcher was coffee, the syrup was in the plastic cups stacked on the plate, they didn't touch them. Which is odd because they put syrup on the french toast when they were in the diner and the syrup there came in the same type of cups so they must have known what it was.

[@johnhelwig8745]

Lia, you are the first person I've ever seen that salted their pancakes. Usually a sweet breakfast item, maple or fruit syrup is poured over them... and maple syrup is good companion with sausage links or bacon. However, I got to admit... your concoction making a breakfast tacos using a pancake as a shell and filling it with egg, potatoes and bacon was brilliant. Next time try banana walnut pancakes, no syrup needed. Joel, you got the right idea trying an item like the pancakes that you don't get in the U.K. I am surprised that you didn't order one of the high protein pancakes items, like with the strawberry banana topping. Half and half is half whole milk and half heavy cream. Probably why your tea was almost white. Thanks again for the vlog!

If you want your bacon crispy, just ask for it crispy. I usually go a step further and ask for it burnt. Most cooks should know what you mean if you say burnt - it won't actually be burnt but very very crispy. And I always get my eggs over medium. It's like the best of runny but not too runny, and I can use my toast, biscuit, muffin or pancake to soak up the rest of the yolk

[@jadecummings8093]

IHOP Come hungry, Leave Happy! Who remembers this one? 😉

[@eisamiller88]

I've never seen anyone eat a pancake as a savory item. They are always covered in something sugary. Crepes are sometimes savory, but that's a whole different thing. I think Ihop used to have crepes on their menu, but I haven't been there in ages so I don't know if that's still a thing.

[@citogal]

When they were reading the menu, it said "Pancakes and Crepes."

[@keywestconch8]

I don't eat them as a sweet, always with salted butter and often as sandwich like Lia did but kind of pig in a blanket. Especially since IHOP pancakes are sweet enough to be eaten as is or just with butter.

FWIW, pancakes, plain ones anyway, are supposed to have syrup poured over them. It looks like they brought you several small containers of maple syrup, and Lia completely ignored them. Next time, try syrup. IHOP stands for International House of Pancakes. That is what the chain used to be called, and they used to emphasize an international variety of pancakes and crepes. Eventually, they got away from that menu and shortened the name to just the acronym which is what everybody called them anyway.

Sunny side up is the proper term when you don't want your yoke cooked at all. Just a FYI.

[@Korruptor711]

@Spring is in The Air 🇺🇸 Sunny side up and over easy are similar, but Sunny side up doesn't get flipped. Over easy gets flipped briefly to cook the egg whites.

[@Korruptor711]

@Spring is in The Air 🇺🇸 cool, but they are not cooked the same way

[@terriehumphries6028]

Here in Texas Sunny side up is not flipped, over easy is cooked on one side then flipped over but only for a hot second.

[@robertrouleau447]

For eggs: "over easy" means the egg is cooked on both sides without breaking the yolk. Basically, be "easy" on the yolk when flipping it "over". Then there's "sunny side up". This means the egg is not flipped. The yolk is not cooked at all. It is like the sun per say. Hence, "sunny" side up. Then there's poached, scrambled, hard and soft boiled, etc, etc.

[@sometimeslyrical]

@John Collins ...How long have YOU been in America? If you want coffee, do you have to specify you want it hot? Does it automatically come on ice with a boatload of sugar stirred in? Your assertion that "WE (Americans) DON'T DRINK HOT TEA!!" is utterly laughable. Lots of Americans enjoy hot tea... ESPECIALLY with breakfast. And when we ask for tea... we should be brought steaming hot water in a teapot, with a cup and saucer, and several teabags on the side. And it needs to be brought a bit AHEAD of the meal so the tea can steep properly to be ready when the food arrives. We also expect at least to have the option for decaf tea, which we'd specifically request if we were avoiding caffeine. It's lovely when an establishment offers specialty blends, green tea, or herb teas, but we don't hold our breath. A selection of sweeteners should be on the table already. We'd tell the waitstaff if we wanted lemon wedges, or some milk or cream for our tea. The only cold beverages one generally might order with a typical American breakfast would be fresh-squeezed orange juice or a glass of milk. Iced tea is more appropriate to accompany a lunch or dinner meal, and should always be brought unsweetened for the person dining to sweeten to their liking or drink unsweetened.. unless they ask for ordinary sweetened tea or Southern sweet tea. Personally, I'm not into the latter kind of "sweet tea," which contains a sickening mega-overdose of sugar, and has hardly any tea taste. As for coffee, those who like it can drink it, but I pass. It smells nasty to me and tastes foul. Iced coffee is no better. But to each his own. Just don't assume everybody likes coffee or is ordering cold "sweet tea" (ugh!) when they ask for tea with their breakfast.

Eggs over medium is whites fully cooked and yellow is runny. Over easy means the same thing EXCEPT the white isn't fully cooked. Learned that when my husband became a breakfast cook.

Would it be a real Joel and Lia video if Lia didn't complain about tea in America? It's a tea bag and hot water Lia. It's not a gourmet drink in a Michelin 5-Star rated restaurant.

[@borisbalkan707]

Yeah I doubt many people are ordering hot tea at an IHOP.

[@dorothypaul4642]

Angel A: Lia definitely is particular about her tea. She found the color "offensive" lol!

[@sometimeslyrical]

@@borisbalkan707 Hot tea, properly steeped in boiling hot water, then a little milk (not cream) added with some sucralose... is the only way to go with breakfast. Coffee (hot or iced) is vile. And what they call cold "sweet tea" certainly doesn't go with breakfast, and it's way too sweet to accompany entrees at other meals.

[@borisbalkan707]

Sausage wrapped in a pancake is a pig in a blanket, so good! We usually have them on a stick (like a corn dog) and dip it in syrup. I have eaten pancakes with just butter, folded in half and eaten with my hands but I've never seen salt added! You should try and Mcgriddle at McDonald's!

[@rossmacintosh5652]

I enjoyed seeing the hot tea being double bagged! Reminded me of the most effective method of birth control - double bagging! Separate sleeping bags always eliminates any chance of unwanted pregnancy!

[@jenpearlman9133]

When you order "a tea", the wait staff may be mishearing you because of your accent and think you are saying ice tea. Americans wouldn't say, "I'll have a tea." We'd say, "I'll have tea." Or "I'd like an ice tea or hot tea."

[@t.b.gonzalez3581]

Or do like I do. Sweet tea and hot water, NO ice, not as sweet and not strong. I am surprised that they did not mention " RTF&F".

[@juliejacobsen7244]

This probably doesn’t help but most places I’ve lived in the US get super confused when I order hot tea. Even just ordering “tea” will always get you iced tea in most places. I’ve lived mostly in the Midwest

[@williamcooper2415]

PS, Lia, have your eggs cooked over-medium. The yoke will still be runny, but everything cooked. The more raw eggs are, the less flavor they deliver; thus, cooking them just a tad bit more, will improve the taste.

[@sometimeslyrical]

If she wanted some flavor, she should have had the eggs done over medium and added a little salt and pepper to them. Eggs without at least a little salt can be so bland.

I'm so triggered by how Lia ate her pancakes. You ordered the best one (original buttermilk) but you should've just put syrup on them and eat them with a fork and knife. You would've loved it

[@teresawilliams662]

IHOP or international House of pancakes as it stands for is one of my favorite places to go. I basically grew up in IHOP because my mom waitressed there and she would take me to work with her

[@glenncordova4027]

[@susanunger2278]

I love how Lia rolled her eyes when Joel first mentioned that she might get a cold tea [instead of hot tea]

[@Freeman_W]

I’m starting to think Lia is trolling at this point… jelly on hash browns last video and now salt/pepper instead of syrup on pancakes. Come on now

[@shawnbflannigan]

I’m always amazed how many places across America say “we don’t have iced coffee” so I ask for a cup of coffee and a glass of ice. Some of them all of a sudden get it and laugh whilst many are still clueless. Poor babies just can’t compute 😂

[@pamelascott5702]

I am sure this is the first time I have seen someone put salt on a pancake. Lol. When ordering bacon in the South, you have to order it extra, extra crispy. And if y'all ever go to IHOP again, order the white chocolate and raspberry pancake. Or if they have the stuffed French toast. I don't think anyone I know prefers Denny over IHOP.

[@twiggledowntown3564]

I might try what Lia did next time I go out to eat, with the Pancake wrapped like an omlette.

[@janetrogers5429]

Seeing you wrap food in pancakes makes me hungry ill need to try that

[@tomevans7567]

Love your channel, but I must say that you two have no idea how to properly eat a lot of American food. But no problem, I probably wouldn't know the proper way to eat a lot of the food in England either. HA HA HA HA 😁😁

[@jlovebirch]

Kind of disturbing to see Lia turn a pancake into a makeshift taco, like a toddler -- and add salt. What the hell?

[@glenncordova4027]

Don't forget the pepper. 😂

[@ACriticalGeek]

Rutti Tutti fresh and fruity is the iconic thing to order at an IHOP.

[@123rabanal]

If you flip the eggs onto the yolk, that's over easy. If you dont want them flipped, thats sunny side up.

[@Steve-hu9gw]

Wow. The other patrons must have thought Lia was raised by wolves. 1. Never touch your pancakes with your hands. Fork and knife only. 2. Never put salt or pepper on your pancakes. 3. Salt and pepper (and whatnot) your eggs and hashbrowns to taste. It’s assumed you will; they are consequently brought to you neutral. 4. Plain pancakes as Lia ordered are meant to be eaten with butter and syrup. 5. If you want crispy bacon, you are generally expected to order your bacon cooked crispy. 6. Just give up on the hot tea for American breakfast. Drink coffee, milk, or juice instead. IHOP has much better breakfasts than Denny’s, though Denny’s tends to have better dinners.

[@SMichelle626]

Amen! Well said. Love her to death but she needs a tutorial lol.

Good advice. The way she ate the food was probably why she didn’t care much for it (6.5 rating).

IHOP : International House of Pancakes ,our version / equivalent of HP sauce is Ai Steak sauce but that's only typically is given when a steak is ordered. IHOP serves breakfast all day . Fun fact I just reminded of by watching a a clip from a local news broadcast, back in 2018 ,an IHOP in Hollywood , down the street from the In and out you two went to on Sunset Blvd, temporarily changed its name to IHOB as way for the company to promote it's new bbq burger.

[@louisenglish8069]

[@DavidTateVA]

I hear you about the hash browns, but please don't compare chain restaurant American food against real British food. What would you get at Lyon's? That's the comparison. And do give up on the tea -- we don't order coffee in England either.

[@angelasaunders3558]

Loved how you ate your pancakes Lea, good idea for those who aren't into sweets for breakfast.

[@toob1979]

In the Great Lakes region, there's a breakfast-y chain called Eat'n'Park that's my go-to if I'm in an area where I don't know the restaurants and I'm in the mood for it. They sell frozen sausages wrapped in pancakes in supermarkets. I don't know if too many restaurants serve them. One of the nice things about America is you can eat your breakfast however you please. Put all that stuff on your pancake and eat it like a taco. Usually, the only condiment on the table in American restaurants is ketchup. You can, however, ask for mustard, hot sauce, steak sauce, etc. Personally, ketchup is the bastard sauce, so I'll go for mustard or something else if I'm feeling adventurous.

[@vodriscoll]

Eating pancakes without maple syrup is very triggering. LOL. BTW, this guy can not stand anything spicy.
