Like a magic, overflowing fountain of deliciousness, Denny’s Restaurants have been feeding hungry folks since 1953. I’m lucky to live near not one, but two of these magnificent food gardens, and frequently skip with glee on nights when I dine on their tasty Lumberjack Slam for breakfast or a tender Mushroom Swiss Chopped Steak for dinner. However, lately my enthusiasm for Denny’s has not been shared by my friends, who say they are “sick” of Denny’s. Come on. You can not get sick of Denny’s!

If you lived near a fancy restaurant, like California Pizza Kitchen, and could afford to eat there every night, you’d never “get sick” of the food. There are so many options to choose from, and every single one of them is scrumptious, to say the least (fantabulous to say the most). Well, for over 50 years, Denny’s has combined the fancy food options of the Cheesecake Factory, but with prices on par with a home-cooked meal, since you can’t make a chicken strips dinner for less than $10 plus tip at home! The result is a perfect combination of price and pleasure that makes Denny’s a must for any meal.

However, for those folks who have trouble eating at the same place night after night, the Big D has gone out of their way to create crazy new options for the adventurous eater. Denny’s limited time All Nighter menu features dishes named after popular rock stars, like Hoobastank’s “Hooburrito” and “Boys Like Girls Present The Great Eggsteak.” That’s right: Hoobastank! So if you like to rock out with variety, Denny’s has got you covered.

Some people compare Denny’s with fast food joints like McDonalds, because they think the food is similar and they both prepare food fast. Therefore, to these weirdos, eating at Denny’s every day is the same as eating at McDonalds every day. Uh, wrong! First of all, McDonalds serves burgers and other stuff, while Denny’s serves other stuff, including burgers. So wrong there. Also wrong: just because the Denny’s chefs create delicious meals quickly and efficiently, it doesn’t mean they make fast food. Feel wrong, yet? You should.

So whether you’re getting a meal with friends or hosting Thanksgiving dinner with family from way out of town, you should eat at Denny’s every chance you get. Whenever someone suggests going to a restaurant that starts with a “D,” make sure to finish their sentence with, “–enny’s!!” If they groan, push them to Denny’s even harder. Someday, I hope to actually move into a local Denny’s, raise my kids there and have meals together as a family. “Pass that Spicy Buffalo Chicken Melt over here, my wife. And no, I will not sign those divorce papers.”
