The Pancake House
The Pancake House (also known as Memo's Pancake House) is a pancake house in Zona Romántica, Puerto Vallarta, in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Established in 1987, the restaurant is owned by Guillermo "Memo" Barroso. According to the ''San Francisco Chronicle'', the restaurant "appears to have a cult following". Description and reception Most known for pancakes and waffles, the restaurant's menu also includes chilaquiles, eggs Florentine, and machaca burritos. There are 12 kinds of pancakes, including the "Oh Henry" (chocolate and peanut butter) and 8 waffle varieties. Fodor's says, "The large dining room bursts with local families on weekends and homesick travelers. It can get noisy, and service tends to slip when Memo is out of town. The draped back patio is pretty, but it's like a greenhouse when the day heats up."Fodor's: * * In ''The Rough Guide to Mexico'', John Fisher described the restaurant as a "marquee-like affair serving good pancakes, waffles, blintzes and all-you-ca ...

American Cuisine
American cuisine consists of the cooking style and traditional dishes prepared in the United States. It has been significantly influenced by Europeans, indigenous Native Americans, Africans, Asians, Pacific Islanders, and many other cultures and traditions. Principal influences on American cuisine are Native American, British, German, Spanish, West African, Greek and Italian cuisines. While some of American cuisine is fusion cuisine, many regions in the United States have a specific regional cuisine. Several are deeply rooted in ethnic heritages, such as American Chinese, Cajun, New Mexican, Louisiana Creole, Pennsylvania Dutch, Soul food, Tex-Mex, and Tlingit. American cuisine saw significant expansion during the 19th and 20th centuries, primarily due to the influx of immigrants from different nations.

Machaca
Machaca is a traditionally dried meat, usually spiced beef or pork, that is rehydrated and then used in popular local cuisine in Northern Mexico and the Southwestern United States. It is also readily available in many groceries and supermarkets in these areas. In areas where the dried meat product is not easy to obtain, slow-cooked roast beef (brisket) or skirt steak shredded and then fried is sometimes substituted. Prepared machaca can be served any number of ways, such as tightly rolled flautas, tacos, or burritos, or on a plate with eggs, onions and peppers ( chiles verdes or chiles poblanos). Machaca is almost always served with flour tortillas that tend to be large, up to 20 inches in diameter. A very popular breakfast or brunch dish is machaca with eggs, associated with miners in the state of Chihuahua. The dish is known primarily in the north of Mexico, and the southern regions of the U.S. states of Arizona, California, and New Mexico, and in Texas where it is ...

Pancake Houses
A pancake (or hotcake, griddlecake, or flapjack) is a flat cake, often thin and round, prepared from a starch-based batter that may contain eggs, milk and butter and cooked on a hot surface such as a griddle or frying pan, often frying with oil or butter. It is a type of batter bread. Archaeological evidence suggests that pancakes were probably eaten in prehistoric societies. The pancake's shape and structure varies worldwide. In the United Kingdom, pancakes are often unleavened and resemble a crêpe. In North America, a leavening agent is used (typically baking powder) creating a thick fluffy pancake. A ''crêpe'' is a thin Breton pancake of French origin cooked on one or both sides in a special pan or crepe maker to achieve a lacelike network of fine bubbles. A well-known variation originating from southeast Europe is a ''palačinke'', a thin moist pancake fried on both sides and filled with jam, cream cheese, chocolate, or ground walnuts, but many other fillings—sweet o ...

Fodor's
Fodor's is a publisher of English language travel and tourism information. Fodor's Travel and Fodors.com are divisions of Internet Brands. History Founder Eugene Fodor was a keen traveler, but felt that the guidebooks of his time were boring, uninspired collections of quickly outdated facts and figures.

Eggs Florentine
Eggs Benedict is a common American breakfast or brunch dish, consisting of two halves of an English muffin, each topped with Canadian bacon, a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce. It was popularized in New York City. Origin and history There are conflicting accounts as to the origin of eggs Benedict. Delmonico's in Lower Manhattan says on its menu that "Eggs Benedict was first created in our ovens in 1860." One of its former chefs, Charles Ranhofer, also published the recipe for ''Eggs à la Benedick'' in 1894. In an interview recorded in the "Talk of the Town" column of ''The New Yorker'' in 1942, the year before his death, Lemuel Benedict, a retired Wall Street stock broker, said that he had wandered into the Waldorf Hotel in 1894 and, hoping to find a cure for his morning hangover, ordered "buttered toast, poached eggs, crisp bacon, and a hooker of hollandaise". Oscar Tschirky, the ''maître d'hôtel'', was so impressed with the dish that he put it on the breakfast and lunc ...
