The pancakes here come in acre sizes, and even the quarter acre is about as wide as a dinner plate. Order the full acre and you’ll need a strategy, not just a fork. The owner is a Seoul-born former newspaper editor who was crowned a beauty pageant queen in 1966. She bought this Oregon diner in 1992 and quietly slipped kimchi, bulgogi, and homemade chili sauces onto a classic breakfast menu.

Salem ice cream shop could have to paint over mural due to sign code
A newly opened ice cream parlor on Market Street in northeast Salem may have to paint over its mural on the side of the building after learning it is out of compliance with Salem's sign code.
