Free Pancakes On Tuesday!

You know how much I love free food.

This one doesn’t light me up quite as much as free tacos on Halloween, but it’s more filling — and fulfilling.

Between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. on Tuesday (that’s Feb. 23 just to make sure we’re clear) IHOP will be offering a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes to every customer.

In return, IHOP hopes you’ll leave a donation for the Children’s Miracle Network, a non-profit organization that supports more than 170 children’s hospitals.

National Pancake Day, as it’s dubbed, is annual event that raised $1.5 million for those hospitals last year. IHOP hopes to collect $1.75 million this week.

So be generous. Whatever you give is tax deductible.
