What to KnowNORMS 77-cent Short StacksThe local diner chain is celebrating its 77th anniversary and National Pancake DayThursday, Sept. 24 from 7 to 11 a.m.Dine-in orders are covered, as well to-go orders placed through the NORMS.com or NORMS rewards app
Flapjack fans and breakfast buffs move into full-on butter-up mode in the middle of wintertime, when we’re seeking out stick-to-the-ribs choices that are tasty and filling.
But if you want to be totally official about all things pancake, and we assume that, given the serious and lofty topic, you do, you know that National Pancake Day is an early-autumn event.
As it should be, for it is around the start of fall when we gravitate toward grub that is filling, buttery, lush with syrup swirls, and super-satisfying.
NORMS, that diner-riffic line-up of hearty-and-true restaurants, gets our pancake-y cravings when autumn arrives.
And in honor of the company’s 77th anniversary and National Pancake Day, there is a sweet celebration in syrupy store: The company’s short stack, one of its best-known dishes, will be priced at 77 cents on Sept. 24 over four flavorful hours: 7 to 11 a.m., oh yum.
If you’re dining at a NORMS within that morning window, the two-pancake dish is yours for three quarters and two pennies (and, of course, the gratuity for your server).
If you’re doing a to-go order through NORMS.com or the NORMS reward app, you’re also going to enjoy the pancake deal, too.
NORMS first began serving its celebrated square meals back in 1949 and counting up all of the pancakes that have been enjoyed by diners who’ve slid into one of those old-school booths or at a windowside table over the decades would be impossible.
Very possible? Pancaking it up, for 77 cents, when fall is only a few days old.
Get to your local NORMS on Thursday, Sept. 24, from 7 to 11 a.m., for your discounted short stack. And if you want to officially mark National Pancake Day in your own way? Check the calendar: That’s traditionally celebrated on Sept. 26, delish.
