Eva Longoria Parker’s first date with husband Tony Parker was in a pancake house.

The couple met at a San Antonio Spurs basketball game in 2004 and arranged to meet up two days later - at U.S. chain diner International House Of Pancakes.

Longoria admits the cheap meal was a perfect starting point for two young lovers.

She says, "I’d never heard of Tony and he had no idea who I was." Parker and Longoria wed in France last summer (Jul07).
