Yeap. People are sometimes amazed at what my tiny, 120 pound body can hold.
A friend once won a “all-you-can-eat-at-one-sitting-Christmas-Eve-dinner-for-two” at a diner. She brought me with her. After I had consumed a cheese omelet, hash browns, sweet potato fries, whole wheat toast, garlic bread, five slices of bacon (I’m normally a vegetarian, but what the hell) on a toasted buttered salt bagel, and a hot fudge sundae , washed down with six cups of coffee, we left.
Steak n shake has all you can eat pancakes for $3.99. I’ve never gotten them as I don’t like pancakes enough and a cheap buffet is only a couple dollars more.
Looks like 113 as of April 2016, if this Youtube video is to be believed.
ETA: Actually, those are “silver dollar” pancakes, so they’re a good bit smaller than what I assume what’s being eaten at a standard pancake eating contest, right?
Looks like there’s some Australian who ate 80 pancakes, but I have no idea if there’s any standardization to this. I doubt there is.
The [International Reference Pancake](Not a real link!) is stored at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Sevres France. It is defined as a pancake with a radius equal to 76 wavelengths of the orange-red emission line in the electromagnetic spectrum of the krypton-86 atom in a vacuum.
I dated a guy who was a huge meat eater and I was a vegetarian and we would go an all you can buffet . I would load up 2 plates , one with all kind of meats and the other with veggies and my b/f did the same . We did think a few times and the manger took umbrage too but he never said anything to us. I agree with you my b/f and I felt the same way that it was all you can eat and I was only eating veggies and beans and my b/f was only eating all the meat he could . LOL!
You are amazing. I want to meet you!
That’s like 46 microns. That’s really small.
I may have been off by an order of magnitude or so. It’s been a long time since I worked with the International Union of Pancake Scientists (UISC in France).

“The meal is not over when I’m full, the meal is over when I hate myself.”
I don’t get why you did this, or why the buffet manager would take umbrage? Why didn’t you each just take as much as you wanted of the food you liked?
And if the IHOP was in the south, you could have just poured the tea over the pancakes. 
Thanks! You know, before I posted that question, I was seeing that IHOP ad all the time. Since I asked the question and you answered, I haven’t seen it once!
