IHOP’s eighth annual National Pancake Day is underway at the California-based restaurant chain’s 1550-plus locations across the United States. From 7 am to 10 pm, IHOP is offering diners a complimentary pancake shortsack (that’s two to three pancakes, in pancake-speak; IHOP’s has three). In return, it is requesting a charitable donation. Most of the money raised will go to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals; in pockets of the country where there aren’t Children’s Network Hospitals, like Texas, it will go to an alternative children’s charity. IHOP restaurants are mostly owned by franchisees, so the chain does its best to keep the money local/Schuyler Velasco, Christian Science Monitor. More here.
