We’re super into these delightful excuses er honorary holidays, to have a delicious treat and celebrate a favorite food! Tuesday, February 13 is National Pancake Day, which pairs perfectly with Fat Tuesday, so we’re serving up where to get the best ones in Austin! Since it’s an honorary holiday, there’s a little confusion on which day to celebrate — what else can we do but call it Pancake Month?
