Spoiler alert: it involves buttermilk, a solid syrup strategy, and probably a trip to IHOP.Jay reveals his all-time favorite pancake, the IHOP Harvest Grain & Nut, and Shayne introduces the crowd to the Australian pikelet, a fluffy little beauty made with curdled milk and scratch ingredients. The boys also revisit the legendary Old South Pancake House in Fort Worth, where 3 AM omelets and a no-nonsense waitress made for some truly unforgettable memories.They debate syrup ratios, butter placement, and whether sweet cream pancakes live up to the hype. Spoiler: they do not.The conversation takes a detour through Irish porridge, Kerrygold butter, steel-cut oats with berry compote (not compost, as Shayne helpfully clarifies), and somehow ends up at crustless protein pizza.Classic Beer Thursday. Never a straight line, always a great time.~~~~~~~Disclosure: I don't really have a house elf. Artie is AI. Get it? Artie-ficial Intelligence!
