Open Trough

The results of the Denny's free Grand Slam breakfast promotion announced during the Superbowl:

Some patrons were still wearing their pajamas and slippers, and strangers were crowding together into booths...

"You couldn't beat it. I mean it was a beautiful, beautiful breakfast. It was fit for a queen or a king," [said] diner Annah Shoffner

Oh for fuck's sake. It's a six dollar breakfast made from third-rate Sysco pseudo-food, you silly cow. I eat at Denny's occasionally, but I'm not deluding myself into thinking it is anything but swill. It's just swill I enjoy from time to time -- the culinary equivalent of slumming.

As for the free promotion, you couldn't have got me into a Denny's on that day if you'd held a gun to my head. Now maybe if I was holding the gun...
