August 24 is National Waffle Day. For some, this will be an excuse to eat breakfast food all day, although if you live in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana, you don’t need an excuse because you’ve realized that breakfast food is the best kind of food ever. Anyway, the holiday is also another excuse for restaurants to give away free food. We’ve found several places online who are giving out free waffles.
