It's not officially the start to a New Year unless IHOP brings back their All-You-Can-Eat Pancake deal. Last year, Foodbeast writer Sean Fahmy took advantage of the offer and broke the in-store record for eating the most pancakes in one sitting. Pretty sure he fell asleep in the office bathroom as soon as he got back to work. If you're not looking to break any records, but just want a LOT of pancakes for a solid price, you might want to head over to IHOP. Patrons can get their pancakes in a short stack of five for $4.99, or as a combo for $10.99 with four pieces of either bacon or sausage.

The combo meal comes with two pancakes and, as they finish them, the rest will come in sets of two until diners' bellies can no longer take it. IHOP's short stack will also follow suit, adding an endless set of two pancakes after the initial five. The AYCE promotion has already begun and will be around for the whole of January.
