Flapjack fans have a reason to celebrate Fat Tuesday a week later.
On Feb. 23, IHOP will offer a free short stack of their buttermilk pancakes to every customer from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. In return, pancaking patrons are asked to leave a courtesy short stack of their own for Children's Miracle Network hospitals.
IHOP first celebrated "National Pancake Day" in 2006. Since that time, the restaurant chain has raised more than $3.25 million and served more than 6.1 million pancakes. This year, IHOP hopes to reach a total fundraising effort of $5 million -- making for five million in five years.
Last year's National Pancake Day was IHOP's largest one-day event in the company's 51-year history -- proving free food for a good cause is always a reason to "flip" out.
