HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- It's National Pancake Day, and of course, IHOP is passing out free short stacks from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.
Also, Houston's very own "Mattress Mack" stopped by one of the restaurants as the honorary guest chef.
"I love coming to IHOP every year to help the children at Shriners Hospital. It's a great event, great charity. Every year I get to eat pancakes that are delicious," said Mattress Mack.
Every stack served will help the restaurant reach their goal of raising $5 million for local children's hospitals and health organizations.
