A new day. New dawn. New Denny's. We got bored with Dallas fairly quickly, so we decided to head on out to Memphis, as Amie had connections there and we could sleep and eat for free. So, after a nice egg breakfast at our hostess' apartment, we hit the road. The attitudes at this Denny's were to be expected, it being the late morning shift and all. They were freaked out by us and gave us crappy free stuff.

And finally my collection of menus was complete. Homer was kind enough to give me a daytime menu, to go along with my nighttime menu and my breakaway value menus. They rock.

This was perhaps the best service I've ever received at a Denny's in my entire life. Our waitress was extremely attentive and friendly. We were seated immediately, our drinks were brought to us quickly, the waitress was there for our order as soon as our menus went down, etc. I would have left a bigger tip than I did, except that I was gettin' pretty broke by this time. If you ever go to this Denny's during the day, ass for Arlene and tell her that that P7A77 says "hi". Not that I ever told her my name or anything. Tell her that the freaks who were travelling all across the country visiting Denny's say "hi". ...and give her a big tip.

This is another one of those spiffy new Denny's. It's connected to a Ramada Inn, even. Very slick. They even sell the Denny's mugs there. Of course, I get mine for free.

Apparantly they don't believe in Denny's in eastern Arkansas, because this was the last one I saw on my trip from Dallas to Graceland. And all I got from them was a crappy crayon, too. I did, however, have the honour of meeting the best waiter in the world (according to him) - Booker T. something-or-other (I can't read his last name on his autograph). He gets 10 out of 10 for style.
