I was just amused by it- because that is not how pancake houses in the US advertise themselves. <br /><br />I wanted to go in, actually, but Hubby was looking for a pub someone had told us about and would not be distracted....Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317847285050447789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-55769731079610407482011-02-14T19:14:55.737-08:002011-02-14T19:14:55.737-08:00I'm lovin that 70's looking dude saying &q...I'm lovin that 70's looking dude saying "Perfect!" at the prospect of pancakes and cocktails. haha!Melbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13248392923064542646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-10602236918961718892011-02-14T15:02:38.683-08:002011-02-14T15:02:38.683-08:00We have a couple of these "Pancake Parlours&q...We have a couple of these "Pancake Parlours" in Melbourne too.<br /><br />I have fond memories of going to these late at night, after "School Formals" (a bit like Prom). Mostly because they were open late - not so much because of the Alcohol.<br /><br />I could be wrong, (some fellow Aussies may disagree) but I think it is pretty rare here to have a cooked breakfast of pancakes, unless it is a special occasion.<br /><br />Pancakes are not as connected to breakfast I guess, they are an anytime of the day food.<br /><br />I think this chain was actually introduced to Australia by some Canadians.Claire - Matching Pegshttp://www.matchingpegs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-2649877162410046632011-02-14T08:09:25.658-08:002011-02-14T08:09:25.658-08:00@Lucy, we had a great time in Brisbane when we vis...@Lucy, we had a great time in Brisbane when we visited! <br /><br />There are certainly places here where you could get pancakes at 4 a.m., and some of them also serve alcohol. It was the advertising that amused me. Most people here go for the grease (i.e., eggs, hash browns and bacon or a cheeseburger and fries) for the late night post-partying snack.Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317847285050447789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-81935579264476995442011-02-13T22:58:53.776-08:002011-02-13T22:58:53.776-08:00Hey, that's my hometown!

Pancakes at 4am are awesome, especially when nothing else is open and you're hanging around waiting for public transport to start running again after a night out. Plus, it's a very cool building and they used to have a giant chess set in the middle of the floor.Lucynoreply@blogger.com
