• "I'm requesting that you please take my posting off your website. I wrote it 5 years ago when I was young and stupid and in college. But now I'm older and hopefully smarter and I'm realizing that my potential employers can find that awful post by doing a net search of my name (employers DO do this.. scary, huh?).
  I don't know if you get many emails from people asking you to take their posts off. I don't know if you ignore the ones you do get. But I'm asking you-- actually, begging you-- because I also unintentionally outed (as in, queer people come out) myself in that post, which is kind of unnerving, since I'm not technically out to, oh, HALF my family.. When I wrote it, I thought it was going to be an anonymous posting. Please let me know what you can do."

  I'd like to talk with you within the week if possible. I would be willing to send you questions via e-mail, but would much prefer to talk on the phone. If you would e-mail me your number and the best time to call, I'll contact you soon."

Perhaps you didn't hear but a small headline in the last week of October's Washington Post business section: "...Phoenix Restaurant Group closed 32 Black-Eyed Peas...and 25 Denny's restaurants this month...these had been under-performing for a number of consective quarters.." etc. Our Denney's in Fairfax, VA (Rts 123/50) went through a complete do-over and looks great. The new owners did a remarkable job from producing better food to providing 1950 music. It is worth a stop. The other Denney's approx. a mile down Rt 50 closed after many years."

• "You may be interested to know that I cited your website last year in an essay I wrote for my college course on American culture. The love-hate relationship that we, as young Americans, have with corporate culture is really fascinating to me. I have to admit that Waffle House is my fetish. I take a lot of road trips, and I imagine I've eaten at thirty Waffle Houses in the last few years, at least. I'd never dream of putting it together like you did, though. It would seem to me like admitting a weakness. But you're all the stronger for professing your love. If you're everÊin southwestÊFlorida, look me up. There's more than a few greasy spoons around here."

  Dear Denny's,
  This is Bumhee Kim from Shinsegae I&C, Korean company.

• "My college kid is a Denny's Freak...I would love to buy him a Denny's Entryway Logo Rug for his dorm. I emailed Denny's with this inquiry, and they gave me the phone number which turned out to be a fulfillment house that distributes their cheap T-shirts, logo mugs, and similar marketing trinkets...but nothing else. A second request to Denny's asking about their source for these rugs has not gotten a response. The local Denny's manager looked at me like I was a nut and said Denny's would not be interested in selling one of these rugs (obviously a marketing Neanderthal ...what Denny's WOULDN'T want their name spread among the masses...oh well). Anyway...do YOU have any brilliant ideas for my pursuit of a Rug? By the way...I found you on Google by searching for Denny's Restaurants. Your site was listed second after Denny's official home page. Cool site...cool dream."

• "In Houston, TX, channel 11 (KHOU) carried your website this morning during the morning news. I only caught the last bit - my girlfriend called me in and said "It's your friend's website!" - they were just printing the URL on the screen, and commenting that it looked like fun. Then they dissed Denny's and your website a little (commenting about the yellow colour of the website putting you off your food). I think since around here the "human interest" story is always the last one, and this was at about 7:30am, it was probably part of that segment. I'm surprised they didn't tell you."

• "I have found that yes Denny's is addictive. The fact that you can be anywhere in the country and still walk into a shitty restaurant that feels like home and talk to some dirty biker or highschool dropout server just makes me smile. It's beautiful! You've been to a couple of my Dennys. I've had many that I've been considered a regular at. You've missed a couple though. Oh and so that you know, the one next to the Dayton Mall has now closed. My friends and I also have an impressive collection or "borrowed" articles. My boyfriend has a "Guaranteed Denny's interview today" sign that he got by climbing onto the roof of the denny's next to the dayton mall the night before they closed. I'm plotting to get a Denny's floor mat sometime very soon. I'm glad that there are more of us who are passionate about Denny's in this way. I ust add that I think it is truly amazing the number of Denny's that you have managed to visit. Congrats. I'll be getting a shirt sometime soon. Let me know the next time you'll be in Dayton, Cleveland, or Bowling Green/Toledo. I'll meet ya if you're in town. Keep in touch."

Here's hoping our bodies will survive the onslaught of greasy food! This is not really a review, but my best Denny's memory from our road trip was the Denny's in Durango, Colorado. Our waitress, Naomi, was really cute. I'm not supposed to notice things like that, being married and all, but hey. I'm only human. Good luck to you in your quest!"

I really can't tell much difference from it and a regular Denny's so don't understand the reason it is called a Diner. It may have a slightly smaller menu but it is part of the regular Denny's family and has all the regular stuff like Slams etc. My husband and I had decided not to go to Denny's much any more as the service at the nearest ones to us was so bad. Now with this new one being even nearer and the service is great so we are back to visiting Denny's!"

Specifically, one of my business contacts in Japan took me to lunch at Denny's in Shunjuku, Tokyo, Japan. The decor is the same but the menu is significantly different. There was a definite local influence on the menu. Best of luck in your quest, but after you knock off North America, the task gets tougher, and a bit more expensive."

• "I was searching on the net for a purple computer chair. That's when I saw pics of your purple computer room. Still haven't found the chair yet.
  About that Denny's on Merchant's Drive in Knoxville, TN... I believe the woman was trying to tell you to go through Strawberry Plains, not Strawberry Fields. Given that she gave you those directions, she most definitely was a long-time redneck, backwoods native. The easiest way to get to Pigeon Forge would have been to take Alcoa Highway.
  There are about a hundred ways to wind around the mountains which would put you in Pigeon Forge, but many wouldÊdrive you throughÊAppalachia's version of the Bronx, which was not very nice of your waitress to do. If you had followed her advice, you might have ended up looking down the barrel of a shotgun, whistling Dueling Banjos from Deliverance.
  Foremost, East Tennesseeans aren't always too bright when it comes to directions, but they are devoted Vol fans, that's for certain.
  I used to work at a Denny's in Tempe and also at one in Reno, NV. During the midnight shift, we'd forego the menu and fry up bananas. Yummmmmmmmy!"

Every time I pass one, I think of you and the Denny's Project. Believe it or not, I actually plan to visit some of the one's you have "reviewed'. I don't know why, but I just love this kind of thing.

• "i love that most of the responses to your site are complaints about Dennys. My local dennys is filthy, we always have terrible service (mostly because the managers hate us because theyre convinced we hang out there too much), and yet... i keep going back. its addictive and its the only reasonable place for minors to spend weekends in our town. they wont even let us into bowling alleys after 9 pm. anyway im willing to bet that most of the people that write complaints on your site are not one time dennys visitors. they keep going back. theyre in denial of the dennys addiction. im not sure about it is about the place. it may be the weird lighting... but i like it. im glad youre out there supporting dennys, bad dirty service and all. thanks.

ZOOBs will soon be a thing of the past, as Power Rings are taking their place (what the heck is a power ring?) ÊKids eat free every day, much to the disdain of the servers... cleaning mushy food and zoob pieces off the floors and booth seats is such a nasty job. Denny's new president "Nelson" has been busy cleaning house so look for the " Nelly's " signs to go up soon, lol. When I was unpacking boxes earlier (moving is a nightmare isn't it?) I found some Denny's post it note pads and gigantuous paper clips and keychain flashlights...want them?"

Anyway, being that I'm sure you've left a piece of your heart in Toledo, you would want to hear of any drastic changes going on. They closed down the Denny's on Monroe Street (the cool one) and revamped the Denny's on Secor so that it's with their new, flashy, aerodynamic 21st century design. To refresh your memory, in case you forgot, the one on Monroe is the one you used to work at with the "Gimme quarters, I love quarters" machine right by the entrance. The one on Secor is the one you went to after your "Weird Al" concert (or so you would have us believe). I'm sure you're sad now, so I'll leave you to wallow in your crapulance."

• "Here is a note i sent to Best Western in reference to a stay there.
  I have no complaints with the motel, but there is a Denny's attached to the motel. In checking in, I asked how the food was and the lady at the counter indicated it was good. I took her advise, but we received the worst service, and the worst food there than any I can remember. Inexperienced help from management to the cook. Example: Ignored on arrival, long wait for waitress, 1/2 hour between Salad and Steak (?) arrival. One Steak not eatable. (must have left it in the microwave too long, tough beyond belief.) Green beans in some kind of greasy sauce, not eaten. Baked potatoes served cold and returned to kitchen. Brought back at end of meal, and why it took so long to heat back up, I don't know.
  They were not crowded, only 4 tables occupied. Help unattendent, more interested in playing with toy game with a remote shovel to pick up toys. When asked at lay out, "did you enjoy your meal?" I replied "no" and explained why. She just took the money in silence. This can't be good for your motel franchise and I would have rather complained to Denny's, but have no way to do so. I know this is my second bad experience with Denny's and I can assure you that it will be my last and anyone else I know too. "

I thought I'd share with you my own Denny's nightmare: My husband & I were not really enjoying our Grand Slams, when the man at booth in front of us held a fork against his girlfriend or wife's throat & disrupted the entire restaurant with his ranting & cussing. His friend (who looked a little like a meaner version of Al) was able to convince his crazed pal to cease, & the 3 of them left without paying their bill. This happened about 10 years ago in one of your fave Denny's in Ohio. We now live in Arizona (& agree with your comments about the Sedona Denny's). I really don't like Denny's,but IÊunderstand your need to do this. Good Luck."

The site is now a caryard. After reading the Dennys chronicals, I have learned that you are quite influential in the Dennys circuit. Could you please request for a Dennys to be built in Penrith, NSW, Australia. Perhaps if the original franchisees had chosen a more accessible location for the restaurant, it would not have met such a terrifying and incomprehensible fate. Who knows, if you are successful, you might get to come to Australia as part of your quest. Please do all that you can..."

• "I Live in Australia (Dennys deprived country) and went to the USA to get married in Vegas by Elvis and we went to Dennys on the morning of our wedding for breakfast. It was great and greasy on so many levels. We had a grand slam or some such and have happy memories of dennys and your site is a great dedication to the Dennys we know and love."

• "You should add the Denny's location in Anchorage, Alaska on Benson Blvd. to your location listing, even if you can't get there. When I was growing up there in high school, we would sneak out at night to go to Denny's and play Monopoly all night. It's the only place open after 2:00am in town, and sadly that makes Denny's THE "hot spot" for late night get-togethers and social gatherings. A unique example of a Denny's adding to the local culture.......thanks!"

• "On your way north in March, don't forget to stop by the Dennys on I 5 and Hwy. 198 in Coalinga, California for a real glimpse of Farm Land, America. Great people with a lot to show us all. This, I feel, is the hardest working area in the country."

• "I noted that you were at the Denny's here in Gaithersburg, MD. We just had a new one open up here in town. It is in what used to be a Shoney's. The food isn't bad, and the day cook does look like St. Al, however I was unable to get his name. Keep up the good work!"

• "In Lockport, New York we have a Denny's which is very important in my life. It is where my friend Tara at 2:00 am told me she was on "the pill". I had a chocolate shake and she had a salad. I don't remember if we left a tip."

• "Denny's used a particular song in one of their commercials a couple of years back, and I've seen the commercials still within the last year. It's the same song I've seen in a "Dirty Birdy" animation in a Spike 'n Mike's festival of animation. I wish I could explain it better. But there's no description that I could give that would explain the music. It's mainly vocal, starting with someone repeating "Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh" and then ends with "yah yah yah." It's very 50s, corny music. Do you have ANY IDEAR whatsoever what this piece is called?"

• "Denny's abuses their employees. The work load continually increases until it becomes impossible. Cooks are overworked and exhausted and treated very shabbily by management. Unfortunately, this, the customer pays for. The reason people stay on is reasonable money and security; it is hard to get canned at Denny's. Anyone who eats there is a fool. I have seen waffle batter that should be stored in refrigeration, lef out for hours on end, then put in the cooler, then left out until it smelled like vomit. I personally refused to serve this. Making a new batch, set me back in my orders. Lettuce is not washed. The egg wash gets filthy. Because of the extreme pressure to get food out fast, proper cooking is out of the question. Eggs sit in their shells and even get partially cooked from the heat near the broiler. I've seen cooks take hash browns out of the grill gutter and serve them up on plates. The drawers that are used for refrigeration, sometmes malfunction. The food thaws, refreezes, thaws,etc. People areoverly tired and don't care. These managers think by slave driving their employees, they are saving money and putting customers first this is quite the opposite. It's been 2 years, I can't remember everything, I called the health dept and they almost got shut down. Don't eat there if you know what's good for you."

• "there was a song from the late 80's by a band called David+David that was mildly popular.I can't remember the chorus but one of the verses was as follows,referring to a character in the song"deals dope out of Dennys got a table in the baa-aack" I have personally found that dope smoking and or dealing and dennys do go hand in hand.I think this is due to the nacho platter.Keep up the strange work."

• "i came about your site and found it very intriuging. i work for denny's, and noticed that you have not been to any in new york. i am a manager at unit #2201 in farmington, ny (its near rochester, ny). If you ever make it to our unit, you can count on a "package" of free stuff!!!!!! We have something that very few other Denny's have (only 11 stores operated presently) and that is a bakery with muffins and cookies. Have a great Denny's day......"

• "I was wondering if you made it to the SF Denny's yet. I am an artist here and did the wall painting and the sconces that hang in the dining room. Just wondered what you thought. I was told this was no ordinary Denny's but that it was a "high end" version. I didnt know there were "low end" versions but I would bet you've seen a few in your travels. Well, good luck in your move to the Bay Area. Its a cool place to live."

  I'm afraid you may either get food poisoning or grow old by the time you get your food!"

• "I found your site listed in the Access Magazine insert to my Sunday paper as one of the "Best Sites of 2000" and I had to log on for a look. A Dennys in Toledo, OH or later, North Baltimore, OH, was the restaurant my buddies and I would always wind up at about 2 AM after seeing a late night movie. At least half the time, I would order a Moons Over My Hammy. : )"
