Shrove Tuesday has many names throughout the world and cultures: Catholics and some Protestants call it Fat Tuesday, Hawaiians call it Malasada Day, but my favorite celebration is in the U.K. where they call it Pancake Tuesday! Whatever you call the day it is all about enjoying the foods and activities that are abstained from during Lent.
In London they celebrate the day by holding pancake races where participants sprint while flipping pancakes in a pan! I'm pretty sure we won't be doing that here in Salt Lake City, but we will definitely be eating stacks and stacks of pancakes!
There are a few places that I love chowing down on shortstacks below are some photos of them to encourage you to fully celebrate the day!
Pumpkin Pancakes- The Original Pancake House (my favorite breakfast chain)
Blue Bucks smothered in blueberries at Eastern Market in D.C.
Other places we love:
- Fluffy classic pancakes at Deacon's Corner in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
- Pancakes Swingers Diner in Los Angeles, California
- Golden pancakes at Bob & Edith's in Arlington, Virginia
- Sourdough pancakes from the kitchen of Suzie Romans in Richmond, Virginia
Where will you be enjoying pancakes this Pancake Tuesday?

I'm wishing I shared a huge plate of pancakes with you today, Laura. These places are the best! Hope a lot of people had pancakes today! If not yet, some of you might need them to sop up the alcohol you'll be consuming tonight for Fat Tuesday!
