Pancakes...
For all you "chip"-sters, maybe something new to chew on...
Is it just me, or have the pancakes in the SEA and PDX BR become smaller lately? Seems they went from a standard 3-4 inch size to silver dollars?
I'd be outraged, but I just can't find the energy for it
. Instead of 2 this morning I had 4.

Could you tell how full the batter-o-meter was? I've had irregular sized panqueues from a few of the machines, usually just before the machine was as dry as Joan Rivers' nether regions. (There - you see, now you don't want anymore! 
)

There is a panel that drops down- one can adjust the size there (I've seen it done)
The pancakes were of good size in SEA today...

Did you know that those pancake machines have waffle attachments and can make waffles too.

Ok, this thread is making me hungry.
Where in the SEA BR is this wonderful contraption? And is it only out for breakfast? I've been there a few times (don't recall what time of day) and I don't think I've ever noticed it.

It's on the second floor on the far side counter. Head for the television in the far corner and turn right. Or if you're getting food, go the long way out and it will be on the counter on the left

Pretty much since the machines showed up the size has varied. I've been told it has to do with how much batter is left in the bag and the sizing setting behind the front panel. It hasn't really bothered me, I enjoy the unknown when I push that button.

I don't think it has to do with the batter at all. I was trying to make 4 pancakes this AM but there was only enough batter left for 2, right after they changed it, I made 2 more and they were the same size.
I wonder what else I've been missing.

Seriously? Just make 2 more... or 4 more... of 20 more... they have a freakin' pancake machine, that's self service and on demand. It's ridiculously cool and unlike anything I've seen in any club in the world. Eat up!
