How To Get Free Pancakes Tomorrow
Shrove Tuesday is March 8th, and while that's usually the weekday on which we make room for a plate full of pancakes, the International House of Pancakes is partying down a week earlier, and is running their National Pancake Day celebration on Tuesday, March 1st. What this means to you: Free Pancakes.
How do you get a free short stack? Just show up at a participating IHOP tomorrow between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. and receive one complimentary short stack.
The catch? None, unless you are feeling generous, says IHOP: "In return for the free flapjacks, we ask you to consider leaving a little something behind for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and other designated local charities." PS, it's ONE free short stack per guest, dine-in only.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
