Enjoy free pancakes at IHOP tomorrow as they celebrate National Pancake Day.  From 7:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m., on Tuesday, February 28th, stop by your local IHOP location and enjoy a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes.  In return, IHOP guests are invited to make a voluntary donation to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

Donations made at the Montgomery IHOP locations will benefit the CMN's program at Children's Hospital of Alabama.  This year's goal is to raise $2.7 million.  Since the inception of National Pancake Day in 2006, IHOP has raised almost $8 million to support local charities.  To find a local IHOP or to donate online, visit www.ihoppancakeday.com.

The Alabama Department of tourism has deemed 2012 the "Year of Alabama Food" and to celebrate, they've come up with a list of 100 Dishes to Eat in Alabama Before you Die. All of the dishes and restaurants were suggested by "tourism professionals" in Alabama. Check out the list of restaurants close to you, or click the link to see the state-wide list.

Have you eaten any of these dishes? Do you agree? Or should something else be on the list?
