What’s a stack of pancakes without some maple syrup drizzled generously over it? The answer is nothing because as much as we love pancakes, they’re nothing without their partner in crime, syrup. Luckily, lovers of this sweet sauce can enjoy it with basically any food, including bacon, salmon, and yes, even chicken.

What’s that? An entire day of December devoted to our favorite breakfast staple? Yes, please! We’re not sure who’s coming up with these national food holidays but whoever it really deserves to get a pay raise for this one. In fact, promote them to the manager, because a national bacon day is exactly what we need more of in this world.
