If everyone on planet earth had to mutually agree on their favorite breakfast food item, there is no doubt that every single person would agree on pancakes. Who could resist its fluffy goodness, with or without chocolate chips, coated with sweet syrup. As I was daydreaming about pancakes the other day, I got to thinking: wouldn't it be cool if I could try and keep track of the best pancakes in each state? Well, I thought to myself, that could take a very long time if I had to travel to all 50 states and waste my time trying out some less than mediocre pancakes. Therefore, after conducting intensive research and interviewing dozens of people from all over the country, this is what I have decided are the best pancakes in all 50 states:
