- I'll defend Denny's, since no one else will. On a business trip, while
- I was dieting seriously (I do that every few years, and the effects last
- for about a year, but I digress), I found it tremendously useful
- for breakfast. Denny's was capable of producing a single egg for me,
- at a reasonable price, while most places charge an arm and a leg.
-
- I've never eaten lunch or dinner there, nor do I plan to.
