As you’ve probably heard by now, IHOP is celebrating what they call “Free Pancake Day.” Others call it Fat Tuesday, Shrove, Fettisdagen, Mardi Gras, etc. In Canada today is known as Pancake Day, because it is traditional to eat pancakes. Due to IHOP’s generosity, it means Free Pancakes.
If anyone knows me, they know I love food. And free stuff. Free food is on my all-time favorite list. Especially for charity.
Considering it was about lunch time, I headed over to IHOP (which happens to be across the street from me) for some delicious free food.
It wasn’t that packed in there (then again, it was 1120am, so breakfast had left and lunch was just starting), and I got a table for one right away. Although I heard other waiters and waitresses schlepping the free pancakes, my waiter didn’t and I had to ask (twice!) for free pancakes.
When I finally got them I was damn hungry and started buttering them up before I forgot I had my cameraphone on me:
Since I’m not a regular at IHOP, I really didn’t know much about the whole extravaganza other than what I’d read on their site. They had this sign on the table which was pretty clear about the greatness of the event:
The pancakes were huge! I ordered an English muffin and some eggs to accompany my coffee – barely finished them all. Seriously, thats a lot of free pancake.
They recommend you donate $1 to the Children’s Miracle Network. I gave them my change from a $10, so if you don’t have a buck just pretend I put it in there for ya and enjoy some pancakes!
