I've never been a big pancake fan, but then I don't like sweet food unless it's dessert.

Pancakes are like a drop in the bucket for breakfast. Substantial food is better.

Also, I've always viewed them as kind of a scam at restaurants.

Pancakes usually stick to me for a good period of time. If I ever want to eat and not have to worry about eating again for a while, I often go for the pancake breakfast (or lunch... and sometimes brinner).

I LOVE pancakes. I don't get them very often though because I like them loaded up with fruit, syrup, and whipped cream.

This might have some truth to it. I just hate like at Dennys or Ihop when they serve you a big ol plate of eggs, potatos, and bacon/sausage, then 5 pancakes on the side. Is america that fat? I cant eat all that for breakfast. No one ever eats even half the pancakes they serve.

All I know is, all I need is like 3 of them by themselves with butter and syrup (sir-up, NOT sear-up. I hate that)

and btw, eeeww, who eats a pancake with lemons like in the 2nd pic!?

Agreed. Part of the allure of pancakes is the fact that they are so effin cheap to make. If a restaurant is going to charge $5+ for a couple of them, they better be loaded with some exotic fruit (or be decadent as s*** like some of the ones in the link).

Also agreed.

I rarely go all out with whipped cream and all. I like a simple choco chip pancake with syrup. I typically don't even put butter on them.

I eat all my pancakes after I finish the main stuff.
Sucka!

There is a restaurant over in Scottsdale called The Pancake House. We had breakfast there when Barrett Jackson was in town. They claim to make THE BEST PANCAKES and I am inclined to agree with them. They were truly fantastic. I hate Scottsdale, but I just might have to make the drive one morning to splurge.

Eggs and toast > other breakfast offerings. Any of them. Add bacon and you achieve Critical Win. As much as I like bacon, though, eggs are still better. Fried, scrambled, boiled, delicious.

I am so damn hungry right now.

I despise the pure maple syrup. Fake stuff rules my world.
I've never tried peanut butter on pancakes. I'll have to give it a shot.

Negative.
Its just that that crap is so damn thin and pungent. I'd have to mix a teaspoon with a stick of butter to make it tolerable.

Now, in order to retain said membership card, I should tell you I've actually made maple syrup myself before. From tapping the tree to boiling it off to the final product. Still, I didn't put that stuff on pancakes. It went on ice cream, and it was delicious. It also tasted different than that 100% crap you get from the store.
