I wonât argue re: the biscuits. It was in IHOP. They were totally lacking in snappy biscuity-ness.
Iâm sorry. As much as I love the south, I just CANNOT do grits (I canât do cream of wheat or maypo, either). Itâs not the taste, itâs the texture that gets to me. However, Tom likes them - he puts Tabasco on them.
I canât do âsweetâ tea, either. If I wanted a glucose drip in my arm, Iâd put one there.
But biscuits and REAL sausage gravy? Now THATâS good eatinâ!!! 
If the gravy I had was sausage gravy, the pig was anaemic.
OTOH, IHOP did serve up a mean waffle with blueberries, so they are forgiven.
Ihop is not a good example of good American cooking, any more than Ryanâs Staekhouse is representative of âgood backyard grillingâ. Itâs relatively bland, tastless stuff that can get knocked out in a hurry for folks who have neither the time, money, or abilty inclination to serve up some good breakfast for themselves. 
I second this.
Grits are sublime when prepared properly. The only thing better is a sausage-gravy biscuit.
The hitch is that they have to be prepared from scratch . . . not instant and not made with a mix that came in a can.
Yup, or people on holiday who need somewhere they can eat after a five hour flight followed by an hour getting from the airport to their hotel, on a rainy Sunday evening in Boston and itâs the only place open within range that isnât McDonalds.
I do use Jiffy mix for my bisquits. Iâve never been able to make them correctly from scratch. They end up like rocks.
I wouldnât eat it even if it were fresh.
That too. I like a lot of crap food but havenât succumbed to canned spray cheese food substitute yet.
I tried it once at a party here, just to see what it was like. Eww.
Yes. And I can prove it. I think McDonaldâs makes the best fries ever. 
I havenât tried âEasy Cheeseâ but its a safe bet its not Dublin cheddar. I prefer cheeses which which play hard to get instead of âeasyâ cheeses.
Edited: Thought the better of saying what I just said.
