Actually Jake, International House of Prayer came first. International House of Pancakes came second, but they sued Prayer. So in all actuality, IHOP truly means International House of Prayer. Pancakes is an imitator! >:( XD Actually, I'm being serious about that IHOP (prayer) came before IHOP (Pancakes).
