The original pancake house was founded in Portland, Oregon in 1953 by les highest and Erma Huneker. Drawing from their extensive knowledge in the culinary field, and broad working experience of authentic national and ethnic pancake recipes, they were able to offer this rare and delicious menu that has gained national acclaim. The original pancake house is a second and third generation family business, which takes great pride in maintaining the high standards that make our food exceptional. Demanding only the very finest of ingredients, owners everywhere use 93 score butter, pure 36% whipping cream, fresh grade aa eggs, hard wheat unbleached flour, and our own recipe sourdough starter. In addition, all batters and sauces are made fresh in every restaurant’s kitchen and orange juice is hand squeezed each morning. With the quest for delicious pancakes rapidly growing, the first international location opened in Seoul, South Korea in 2013, and then Kichijoji, Tokyo, japan a year later.
