she was ALWAYS ON THE PHONE

Made my own pancakes, cost a fraction of what I'd have paid at Denny's. Had some homemade strawberry syrup that needed using up.

I like Denny's. They had this promotion when The Hobbit came out. I don't remember exactly what they had but they had a Second Breakfast with a few meats and these awesome cake waffle things. And I never get sweet stuff for breakfast but drat they were good.

My Dad took me to Denny's after picking me up from jail once. It was actually one of the few times back then we didn't fight. Good times.

i am a doctor. my name is thoss.
I also have a certain fondness for Denny's.

I used to go on Tuesdays after industrial night. Wound up developing a rapport with the overnight staff since I came in regularly and was sometimes the only person there. One night, I was coming home from midnight movie and discovered that my keys had fallen out of my pocket while I was at the theatre. Roommates didn't answer the doorbell. I tried to climb up on top of the roof of the deck to get in through my bedroom window, but my sad, doughy goon body was not up to the task. It had been raining that night, so all I managed to do was drench my crotch and legs in dirty water and rotting leaves. So, damp, dirty, disheveled, looking (and kind of smelling) like I had pissed myself, I wander into Denny's because they have the nearest payphone. Turns out the staff were the same people I saw on Tuesday night. I explained the night I was having. They let me hang out there, out of the rain, and gave me free coffee until i managed to get ahold of a locksmith to come over and let me into my house.

And that's why I like Denny's.

Also I'm a fatty and an insomniac and I love eating greasy breakfast foods at gently caress o'clock in the morning.

I don't have a problem with Denny's per say. The food is ok and not any worse than any other breakfast dive or convenience store. Lord knows I'm not above eating equal or lower tier garbage at Country Buffet or even a hotel breakfast bar.

However, in these Covid times, it kind of pains me to hear my 70+ year old parents regularly risk their lives, once or twice a month, to eat out at Denny's since even before vaccines were available.

Maybe my memory is hazy because I was a kid but didn't Denny's literally not serve black people in the 1980s? Like legit black people would come to their establishment and they'd say "please leave" and this somehow didn't sink the company

Yes but Cracker Barrel was still openly turning away black people in the 1990s so Denny's' motto of "It Could Be Worse" is apt

Also seconding the Hobbit tie-in food enthusiasm, I have an incredibly fond memory of intricately planning out my paternity leave with my ex- for like three hours while eating a series of Shire pancake puppies and Taters Precious or whatever they were serving

Denny's is real weird. I've been to some in the middle of nowhere at like 3am and there is literally one person running the whole restaurant, from front of house to the grill. Seems like a real dangerous way to live.

but for those that choose it, thats the dennys life
