GLENDALE, Calif., Jan. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The pancakes are
unlimited and the competition is fierce as IHOP®
Restaurants again hosts its Empty Plate Stack Challenge as part of
its annual "All You Eat Pancakes" celebration now through
February 14. For the second year in a
row, IHOP is inviting guests to form a pancake-loving team, head to
their local IHOP restaurant, eat as many made-to-order buttermilk
pancakes as they desire, and stack their empty plates for a chance
to be crowned Empty Plate Stack Challenge champions.
Once a team has reached their limit, they can enter the contest
by uploading a photo to Instagram showing off their towering stack
of empty plates. Teams must include the hashtags #Panuary and
#Entry along with their team name and number of pancakes eaten.
Every photo entered will have the chance to be featured in IHOP's
Panuary Gallery. The team that conquers the most pancakes will
receive bragging rights and the 2016 Empty Plate Stack Challenge
trophy, as well as customized team t-shirts.
"IHOP has always been a place where memories are made, and
sharing experiences through social media is a fun way to engage
longtime fans and the newest generation of Breakfastarians," said
Kirk Thompson, IHOP Vice President
of Marketing. "The Empty Plate Stack Challenge provides yet another
reason for pancake-lovers to gather at their local IHOP restaurant,
celebrate breakfast all day, make new memories and share their
experience with friends via Instagram."
In 2015, Team Tankbone from Georgia came out on top as the Empty Plate
Stack Challenge winners. The team of seven stacked a total of
34 plates and consumed 68 pancakes.
With All You Can Eat Pancakes, IHOP guests can purchase either a
stack of five of the breakfast leader's famous buttermilk pancakes
or two pancakes with a combo plate of eggs, golden hash browns and
a choice of breakfast meats for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Once the initial order of pancakes has been enjoyed, guests can
continue to order short stacks of two pancakes at a time until they
have had…all they can eat.
