SANTA MONICA, CA – IHOP successfully broke the Guinness World Records™ title for the most pancakes served in an eight-hour period during its “20K for Pancake Day” event at the Santa Monica Pier on Saturday, March 1, 2025. The event, held in celebration of the 20th anniversary of National Pancake Day, saw 25,629 pancakes served, surpassing the original goal of 20,000.
IHOP invited the public to participate in the record-breaking celebration while supporting a meaningful cause. For every pancake served, IHOP donated $1 to Feeding America®, benefiting the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank to help fight hunger in LA County.
“This is a holiday our fans love, so we wanted to make the celebration even bigger for our 20th anniversary,” said Lenna Yamamichi, Vice President, Brand Creative at IHOP. “Now, we can officially say IHOP is the champion of pancakes!”
Chef Art Carl and his team led the pancake-flipping efforts, while Santa Monica Police officers and local residents joined in the festivities to witness and take part in the Guinness World Records™ attempt.
For those who missed the record-breaking event, IHOP continued the celebration nationwide on Tuesday, March 4, offering guests at participating locations a free Short Stack of Buttermilk Pancakes from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
As part of IHOP’s Month of Giving, which runs from March 1-31, 2025, guests can continue to donate to Feeding America by rounding up their checks to support efforts in providing meals for those facing food insecurity.
