Los Angeles, United States — American Breakfast/Diner
The influencer participated in a hotcake eating challenge at Norms during their 77th anniversary celebration, attempting to eat 20 hotcakes in under 30 minutes. Despite finding the dense pancakes challenging, they successfully completed the challenge in 25 minutes and 40 seconds, and highlighted the special deal of hotcakes for just 77 cents available on September 24th.
What was great: Special anniversary deal of hotcakes for 77 cents, celebration atmosphere for Norms 77th anniversary
What could improve: Hotcakes are very dense and heavy, difficult to eat in large quantities
The Dishes
The main focus of this visit was Norms' signature hotcakes, which are notably dense and heavy. The influencer consumed 20 short stack hotcakes during the eating challenge. Rather than using traditional syrup or butter, the reviewer opted to use hot sauce as a condiment to pair with the hotcakes, finding this combination more palatable than the standard toppings.
The Experience
This was a special visit timed for Norms' 77th anniversary celebration on September 24th. The restaurant was offering the promotional hotcake deal from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., creating a festive atmosphere for the occasion. The challenge itself was a significant undertaking, requiring focus and determination to complete.
Value & Pricing
The star of this promotion is the exceptional pricing of just 77 cents per short stack of hotcakes as part of the 77th anniversary special. This represents tremendous value for the customer, making it an unmissable deal for pancake lovers looking to celebrate the restaurant's milestone.
Notable Moments
Somehow I pulled through and was able to eat all of them in 25 minutes and 40 seconds.
The influencer acknowledged that eating hotcakes in large quantities presents one of the most challenging food challenges due to their dense, carbohydrate-heavy nature. The choice to use hot sauce instead of traditional toppings was a unique approach to making the large volume more manageable.
The Verdict
This visit celebrates Norms' remarkable 77-year history. The special hotcake deal makes this an excellent time to visit, particularly for those who appreciate substantial breakfast portions. While the dense nature of hotcakes makes them difficult to consume in large quantities, the exceptional pricing and celebratory atmosphere make this a worthwhile destination for the anniversary event.
