That's a Big Pancake

My folks took us out to eat the other day in Salem. Red's Sandwich Shop is one of those places that the locals usually don't tell the tourists about. It's been that way pretty much since the 18th century. It's a nice, cheap place with good food and plenty of local color. I was in a breakfasty kind of mood, so I had a pancake. We all, in fact, had a pancake. Not a stack of pancakes mind you, just one. Since Red's pancakes are nice and thick and cover a whole plate, you really don't need more than that. If you are a maple fanatic like me you'll have to bring your own syrup, but I managed to survive with the fake stuff. I had a nice side of bacon, my dad had some ham, and a good time was had by all. I'm going to have to come back sometime when I'm in a lunchy kind of mood.
