It all began with two Adelaide boys who went on a big ol' road trip across the USA in a borrowed VW. Crossing the states between New York & Miami, it seemed every hundred miles or so the boys kept pulling into wayside restaurants & diners to eat pancakes. These two prolific pancake eaters had fallen in love.

Returning home. Inspired by a dream, these two boys found an old burnt out deli in the heart of Adelaide city. Here an Icon was born on the foundation of Fluffy pancakes.
