What's Better Than Pancakes? IHOP's Free Pancakes

Nothing warms up a cold, gray February day like hotcakes. If you agree, you're in luck because metro Detroit IHOP locations are offering free pancakes all day February 28.

It's a fundraiser for the Children's Miracle Network, with patrons asked to donate whatever they want to the charity in lieu of paying for their hotcakes.  A short stack of buttermilk pancakes will be free to everyone who walks in the door.

IHOP hopes to raise $2.7 million for the charity this year.

Could someone really forget about free pancakes? Apparently, and because no one wants to be that person, IHOP is also letting fans sign up for a free reminder phone call from the celebrity of your choice on February 28.
