When I went to Denver last fall, Brooke Summer (a Denver boudoir photographer) and I dined at all sorts of fabulous places. One of my personal favorites? The Original Pancake House. We went to the one in the Denver Tech Center, and it was like a little slice of heaven.
Admittedly, I hadn’t had pancakes at that point in over 10 months since going gluten free. I love pancakes, but I chose when I first cut out gluten to not find “substitutes” for it because I also eat a very low-carb diet as well. Pancakes? Not going to happen. But that one day, I gave in. I ordered gluten free BACON pancakes. Yes, bacon IN the pancakes. Whoever came up with that idea was a freaking GENIUS! I love how bacon tastes with a little syrup on it, that maple flavor just makes it somehow better. So if you put bacon inside the pancakes, it is the best of all things combined!
These were a very, very rare indulgent treat. I didn’t eat that whole plate – there was no way I could have! Just a little bit was all the sugar I could handle, and I had an order of eggs on the side so I was sure to get my protein. There was just no way I could pass those pancakes up though, and I’d gladly order them again. I haven’t had pancakes since that trip. Matter of fact, anyone want to meet me in Denver and go out for some? Mmmm…
(Yes, we went to Snooze as well while I was in Denver, but I loved these Bacon Pancakes more.)

Love Original Pancake House…too bad the closest one is in Austin. 🙁 And it’s not as awesome as my one back home in FL.
Jennifer Chaney, sadly I won’t be. Otherwise, I’d be all in!
Jacy Crosby, they have one in AUSTIN??? Oh my. That is a dangerous thing to know. I intentionally didn’t look at the map when I went to the website to get the URL for the post. Uh oh.
If you drive up to see me then we have several to choose from 😀
Marcia Stuhler, I have to head up to the north side of Houston on Sunday, should I just keep driving after my errand and head your way? Heehee!
Don’t go to Austin you wanna come where the mini is LOL (said in my best brit accent)
Marcia Stuhler, your Brit accent is fabulous, and making me laugh just thinking about it.
Marcia Stuhler we could have our very own Mini road rally…
Tom is taking me to the race trac so i can put that baby to the test. His instructions were rent a big lens and save a date HA!
The source of your pneumonia LOL http://www.popcornindiana.com/buy/10
I am a pancake connoisseur! The only place I’ve found to be as good is the Magnolia Pancake Haus in San Antonio (not sure about gluten-free though).
Marcia Stuhler the source of my pneumonia was the Creamed Spinach I ate at Wolfgang Pucks, which was *not* gluten-free. Leading to a sinus infection which then moved south to my lungs. I may have had 2-3 French fries as well, and they also are not gluten-free at Wolfgang Pucks.
That popcorn was DELICIOUS. Glad I left it in your room so I didn’t eat it all!
@christinebpc I do that to my waffles. There’s no going back after bacon inclusion!!

I remember that!
Sounds great!
Kathi Cook Confession: I’ve never liked chocolate in my pancakes. Too much. I have weird texture issues though, so that may be part of it.
Marlon Walker I was so torn – dig in to the pancakes, or take a photo. Obviously, the photo won! We had some fun meals on that trip!
Chris Scott you will be invited to my Denver pancake reunion too. ALL of my Denver friends are invited!
I’m adding myself to the Free Breakfast from Christine Selleck Tremoulet list. Just thought you should know.
Jennifer Chaney – are you headed this way next month???
Chris Scott that reunion will NOT be free for everyone. But since you’re already on the special list with Caitlin Rose Lazo, you’re in. It will be our secret.
Jennifer Chaney will be there for Fight Club in April. Sadly, I won’t be.

Man, totally off the pancake topic, but you all are actually making me miss Colorado. Used to live there in another life. Now, back to pancakes …. I only eat them with fresh fruit, no chocolate chips either. The texture thing is real, I totally get it! And, it’s unfair to say that this is the 15 year-olds food pyramid, there’s also In ‘n Out Burger’s secret menu. We accessed that after he was diagnosed with pneumonia this morning:)
