Behold the ChefStack Automatic Pancake Maker
I found out about the glorious pancake-making machine ChefStack through an IM conversation with Serious Eats intern Grace. Observe:
Grace: http://www.chefstack.com/
Grace: Looks crazy
Me: WUT
Me: WUT
Me: IT POOPS PANCAKES
Me: PLOP PLOP PLOP
Grace: Hahaaha
Me: AHAHAHAH
Me: HUH
Grace: Hahaha omg don’t have a seizure!
And that's what I sound like when you chat with me through IM about pancakes—my IQ plummets by about 100 points.
The ChefStack—or as I like to call it, the Pancake Plooper—makes pancakes at a rate of 200 pph (pancakes per hour) and will set you back $3,500. Interested in owning one of these babies? Visit chefstack.com for more info.

$3500 for a pancake maker and it only makes about 3 pancakes a minute? Only if I can charge people to watch. Reminds me of Robert McCloskey's donut machine in Homer Price.

I like how the testimony on the front page is signed by "John Doe" !

@arm1970: Pancake-loving crackhead!
@Junado: Haha, I noticed that! ...Er I hope this machine is real. Not that I would buy one.

my girlfriend would literally just lie on the floor under this thing and let the pancakes fall right into her mouth. this is her dream come true.

mr guy -- I'm not going to be able to stop laughing all day at the image you've created there..

PPH! Such an important unit of measurement.

Haha, that is exactly how I imaged you would react to such a thing.
By the way that top pancake is coming out of the machine, I find it hard to believe that it would make a neat stack like that. I also find it hard to believe that someone would let the stack get that high without eating it.

If I had $3500 in my pocket I'd feel the urge to buy one right now...can't explain myself. But thinking it through, it must kill some of the fun in making pancakes...

Very funny! It reminds me of when we went to the tillamook cheese factory and our favourite bit was watching it 'poo' the cheese into bags!

There should be a SE taste-test -- for science's sake.
