Chowhounds will flip for IHOP’s annual all-you-can eat pancake promotion, arriving just as the last crumbs of Christmas cookies have been whisked away.

Here’s the deal: patrons must order either five buttermilk pancakes or a short stack of two pancakes with a combo plate of eggs, golden hash browns and their choice of breakfast meats. After that, guests can keep the short stacks coming until they have had, uh, all they can eat.

To sweeten the deal, you can top those flapjacks with your choice of strawberries, blueberries, peaches or apples with cinnamon. Patrons pay for the first round of toppings; the rest are on the house.

The offer is good Jan. 4-Feb 14 for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Or all three.
