John Candy.
We miss you, big guy. Your '80s comedy dominance has left seismic ripples that still touch our funny bone to this day.
One of my favorites: Uncle Buck. My favorite scene: the one with the pancakes.
And now, the Mass Avenue Tavern has paid homage to its legacy...
Introducing Uncle Buck Pancakes, essentially six pounds of flapjacks, butter and syrup.
You'll recall the scene in Uncle Buck where the big guy uses a snow shovel to create some table-sized pancakes (which I tried once... no bueno). These are like that, only slightly less ridiculous (and less Macaulay Culkin-y). But no less awesome.
Upon ordering them, Jamie had to sign a waiver, basically saying he was doing this of his own free will, in case his body went into pancake shock while consuming. A few minutes later, a server approached him with five 14-inch-in-diameter pancakes smothered with butter and maple syrup. Total weight: six pounds. Which should leave just enough room for the extra food Jamie ordered.
Should Jamie finish the pancakes within an hour, the whole thing is free. Plus, they'll give him an Uncle Buck--style bomber hat and place his picture on the honorary Uncle Buck wall of fame.
