I heard a radio ad today for IHOP’s National Pancake Day.

In the commercial, they said IHOP will be offering free pancakes to recognize the special day. The spot also mentioned that IHOP would be taking donations for First Book a non-profit that helps provide books for children of low-income families.

I decided to do a Google search to see if this was just a marketing gimmick unique to IHOP.

Apparently, the Austrialians are recognizing it too and are also using it as an opportunity to do fundraising for local non-profits.

Aunt Jemima has a press release for National Pancake Week!

I would never have guessed that so many people would flip over flapjacks!

So bad wordplay aside, the question I have to ask LAFBers is this: where do you go for mom and pop pancakes if you opt out of the big chain IHOP option?
