Known also as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, National Pancake Day dates back several centuries to when the English prepped for fasting during Lent. Strict rules prohibited the eating of all dairy products during Lent, so pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk, butter and other dairy products… Hence the name Pancake Tuesday, or Shrove Tuesday. So join IHOP on Tuesday February 24th, 2009 between 7am and 10pm and receive a "short stack" of their famous buttermilk pancakes!
Since beginning of IHOP's National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has raised nearly two million dollars to support charities in the communities in which it operates. All they ask is that you consider making a donation to support your local Children's Hospital through the Children's Miracle Network.
