Food roundup for feb 23

Here’s what is going on today in fast-paced world of food and dining;

If you still haven’t recovered from the disappointment of missing out on a free Grand Slam breakfast during the Denny’s Super Bowl promotion then you should circle tomorrow on your calendar about a dozen times and set at least three alarm clocks to avoid oversleeping. That’s because tomorrow is National Pancake Day, and in honor of the holiday you can score a free short stack of pancakes at your local IHOP.

They taste 90% better when they’re free.

In other news, if you’re looking for something a little more adventuresome than pancakes, you can live vicariously through one Village Voice writer who chronicles her recent experience dining on sundried worms. While we’re always a fan of the “try anything once” mentality, free pancakes seem like the more enticing option.

And lastly, if you’re looking for some tips on making the ultimate soup (and honestly, who isn’t?) then you’re going to want to check out a few soup pointers from one daring Nashville writer who sampled over 50 soups in just two hours. We’re not sure we’d be able to stomach that much soup, but then again, that could be because we’re just trying to save room for free pancakes.
