Who would have thought pistachio and rose water would be a delicious combo for a pancake? I got a taste of the culinary innovation happening around the world as our international team gathered at our Pasadena HQ and prepared a fantastic lunch of unique Applebee’s and IHOP items found only outside of the U.S. From the Applebee’s Messy Burger and IHOP Waffle Pops in Latin America to Korean Beef Back Ribs and Pistachio Pancakes in the Middle East, I was blown away by the delicious flavor combinations that are resonating with our international guests. It is a true testament to the creativity and passion our culinary teams bring to the table every day. Thank you to Chefs Jéan van der Westhuizen, Liliana Rivera, and Jorge Eduardo G. for giving me a sneak peek of your tasting menu. Watching you and the entire international team at work, hustling out trays of perfectly executed items, was inspiring and I look forward to getting a taste of what’s coming next!

Pistachio and rose water? Sounds like a Persian pancake flavor!! And Raffi's Place (Persian restaurant) is nearby in Glendale, CA to immerse the pistachio and rosewater flavors. Wow! I love reading about the Dine Brands Global musings in the test kitchen! Keep up the great teamwork! #diningout #IHOP #Applebee's

The pistachio pancake looked delicious, so did the Nutella w/bananas and strawberries. Kind of thinking about visiting an IHOP with you guys. Thanks Carol
