My husband looked up IHOP in Deming before we left for the trip to Santa Fe to research WW2 spies. We were anxious to try it. It looked spanking new. We got there early at 11:00AM. No other guests were there. Somehow we couldn’t get waited on. The waiter stood there in the door of the kitchen. He didn’t seem to be doing anything at all except staring at a wall. Or perhaps he was looking out the window. It was hard to tell. At any rate he was preoccupied. We finally managed to get waited on. But then we had to try to get served by the same preoccupied waiter. When we finally got served, the chicken parmesan was still hot and pretty tasty.
