Here's what the site had to say about the fluffy stack served at this Palmetto State favorite:
"Johnny D's chef, Jamie Daskalis, graduated from the Culinary Institute of America with a degree in pastry and baking, and it shows. Though the spot is known for it waffles, the banana pecan pancakes are a yummy alternative. Need a gluten-free option? Sample their gluten-free banana strawberry cakes."
