The International House of Pancakes recently restarted its all you can eat offer. An IHOP official told Ken Hoffman of the Houston Chronicle that the all time AYCE pancake record is 46, which is contradicted by Ron Koch’s total of 50 pancakes in 2008.
Andrew “A Bomb” Lane has a blog entry about eating 23 pancakes at IHOP. His server told him that he no longer hold the record at that location; a woman ate 40 pancakes earlier in the week.
A bodybuilding.com member ate 26 pancakes in 45 minutes, which he claims is 2 less than what Pete Czerwinski ate.
update Jan 11 Ben Monson has posted pictures to bodybuilding.com from his trip to IHOP today where he ate 59 pancakes (via comment)

A metromix gallery of an attempt at the 12-14 pound pizza challenge for two person teams at Beau Jo’s (Denver area) includes a picture of the “Wall of Fame” dedicated to Anna & Micah, the most recent pair to finish the challenge. 110 pound Anna reportedly ate more pizza than Micah.
On the Man vs. Food forum, an employee at the Glenwood Springs Beau Jo’s location reports that the only finishers at that site have been two thin women.
Andrew “A Bomb” Lane states that only 11 teams out of 1960 have successfully completed the pizza challenge since it became available in 1973, one of the lower success ratios.
