From ancient Romans to millennial brunchers, pancakes have long been a favorite breakfast-time tummy-warmer — and mimosa accomplice.

Pancakes are so popular, in fact, that several holidays celebrate the dish. Shrove Tuesday, also called Pancake Day, is a Christian holiday that falls between February and March and involves a feast before the start of Lent. Also in spring is IHOP’s pancake day, on which customers receive a free short stack of pancakes, a tradition the breakfast chain started in 2006. And then there’s National Pancake Day on Sept. 26, just for fun.

Chefs all over Sonoma County are whipping up their own delectable versions of the breakfast classic. Here are nine of our all-time favorites to enjoy on National Pancake Day or any time of year.
