Philadelphia, PA - Green Eggs Cafe; Who has red velvet pancakes? Not too many places, which is when the opportunity presents itself, you can't pass it up. I asked the server they taste more like pancakes or more like wedding cake. She said pancakes and warned me that they a very large. What she should have said was its extremely huge and it is for three people.

The Red Velvet buttermilk pancakes are made with chocolate morsels layered with strawberry mascarpone and topped with fresh strawberries, maple syrup and chantilly cream. Ready for your dessert breakfast? This breakfast is truly for three people. It's hard to tell from the picture, but look at the size of the strawberry compared to the pancake. Use that as a reference. I only ate the corner and was stuffed. I don't think it taste much like pancakes and is more like a cake because of how thick they are. The mascarpone is deliciously sweet in the middle. The chocolate morsels were a delightful surprised inside. It gave it a little more sugar, that it probably didn't need, and added the extra texture.

Since I was in carb overload, I ordered a side dish of Pork Chorizo. I needed the additional protein. It was nicely cooked, not dried out, and had a small amount of heat.

FYI...I ended up taking home around 80% of the pancakes :)
