The miracle of free pancakes
Hey blog readers, this is Nona Nelson of The Happy Wag and a few other blogs here at roanoke.com, filling in for Lindsey who is under the weather with a nasty little virus. In case you hadn't heard, you can get stacked for free today at IHOP.
Today is a traditional day of celebration. You may call it Mardi Gras. You may call it Fat Tuesday. But at IHOP, it's National Pancake Day.
IHOP stores in Roanoke, Christiansburg, Lynchburg and Danville will be serving one free short stack of pancakes per customer until 10 p.m. and all they ask in return is a voluntary donation to the Children's Miracle Network.
According to the press release from CMN, all money collected at area IHOP restaurants will help children at Virginia Baptist Hospital and Carilion Clinic Children's Hospital.
If you go, post a comment and let us know if the restaurants were busy and if the pancakes were tasty. We want details.
