100 Years of Pancakes!

An age old tradition of the Calgary Stampede: Pancake Breakfast! Every year, during The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, people show up in droves and line up for miles to fill up on the season's favourite meal. If you do your research, you will find countless FREE breakfast events held all over the city. One might find themselves asking, "how did pancakes become a thing?" Well we are here to tell you so buckle up!

"The famous Stampede Pancake Breakfasts we know of today, that gathers community and camaraderie, first started way back in 1923 by a fella affectionally nick named Wildhorse Jack.  Jack Morton was a rancher, who supplied much of the stock for the Calgary Stampede Rodeo and also “attempted” to compete. When he would lose, he pulled up his boot spurs and jovially hosted a community breakfast the very next day, flipping pancakes for family and friends downtown Calgary! And hence the spirit and tradition of the Calgary Stampede Pancake Breakfast was born!" - Lannie Rae Gourmet
