so, Denny's now serves something called the 'supreme bowl breakfast two sausage and cheddar bowl' for breakfast. it goes a little something like this:

New Two Sausage & Cheddar Bowl

Smoked sausage and crumbled sausage, chopped green peppers and onions layered on top of two fluffy scrambled eggs. Served over a mound of country-fried potatoes that are covered in our creamy cheese sauce. Topped with shredded Cheddar cheese

it also comes with two strips of bacon, two sausages, and three pancakes. yes, bacon and sausage.

holy monkey smack that's a lot of food. i haven't been to a Denny's since 2000 or so, and i'm wondering if they've gotten a lot weirder in the meantime or something. Seriously, WTF? that bowl is the size of the breakfast's at Beth's, which are explicitly a once-in-a-while digestive system overkill. the scar tissue where my gall bladder used to be is quivering in fear just thinking about it.

i went to an IHOP for my birthday (really low key year) in 2003 or so, and i don't recall them being that weird. i just remember the place being sort of nasty. Apparently, however, they're making some sort of pancake cinnamon roll hybrid that's probably got a goat full of sugar in it or at least tastes like a nightmare.

breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and denny's seems to be trifling with that.

At TJ's (at 3 a.m. of course) I once watched a friend eat a "barnyard buster". My arteries got clogged just looking at it.

When you're in the area let's we introduce you to The Bomber's The Bomber Breakfast: a pound each of potatoes and meat plus four eggs.

the place being sort of nasty

The IHOP at 43rd and Brooklyn (since I haven't been to Seattle in 12 years, I have no idea whether it's still there or not) was the site of the worst restaurant experience I have ever had, anywhere.

I sent back three "omelets" made of PANCAKE BATTER before I finally convinced the inscrutably irate manager to authorize the actual breaking of eggs.

I have noticed a sort of IHOP Funkiness Gradient monotonically increasing as one moves to the north and west. The IHOPs in Florida are delightful; the one I've been to in Nashville was pretty good; the one I used to regularly frequent in Arlington VA was a little on the frowsy side, but all the waitresses were Balinese or Turkish or something and had great one- and two-syllable names that would make good passwords.

IHOP is irrelevant in most of the Southeast, since everyone who wants that kind of food goes to the ubiquitous Waffle Houses. I know of one Denny's in all of North Alabama, and I can't imagine having a reason to go there.

When I drove around Dallas umpteen years ago sampling chili, Denny's had the best. Much, much better than Tolbert's, which made no sense to me at all.
