TBD loves free food and so should you. The International House of Pancakes, the obvious authority on pancakes, has declared today National Pancake Day and is celebrating by giving away free flapjacks to all.

You have until 10 p.m., today to head to an area IHOP and get a free short stack. IHOP just asks that you consider making a donation to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in lieu of pancake-payment.

The IHOP in Columbia Heights had a considerable wait around 2 p.m., but TBD photographer Jay Westcott reports that the Ballston IHOP wasn't all that busy around lunchtime. Check out his photos.
