It is Feb 9th. And not to be outdone, IHOP is bringing back free* pancake day in 2010. IHOP brings even greater value added to their proposition by offering a compliementary wake up call from Steve Young, Miss America or Marie Osmond. I'm going to register all my enemies to get the Marie Osmond call. ^

OK, as a guy, my daily caloric intake is supposed to be about 2000 calories, right? So as long as I don't follow up my Grand Slam with a Big Mac, large fries, and Coke for lunch and dinner, I should be OK.

I also wonder what kind of short cuts they'll go to so save money on doing this. You get what you pay for, and I wonder what quality of eggs and bacon you'll get for FREE?

I like free food as much as the next guy but this will not be free if you value your time at anything > 0. These promotions bring in large crowds and you can expect quite a wait. Personally I'd rather pay $5-6 and eat elsewhere without a wait and a more leasurely rate and atmosphe.
The birthday offer is interesting as there will not be the same crowding problem.

Dennys breakfast is great and well priced. It is ok quality and the same you will get and any typical chain restaurant that serves breakfast.
I go to the one by LAX on Century all the time before early morning flights since the food sucks in T7 at LAX.
I like looking at the different types of people who are there. all kinds, business people, backpackers, and night shift workers.
I wont eat at dennys though for lunch or dinner but have been there after a late night on the town

Dennys consistently has the best hashbrowns on the planet, and has for 45+ years. That, and the fact that they cook the eggs exactly as I order them 9 out of 10 times is really why I go there.

Bit of an overload compared to my typical yogurt and granola bar or grapefruit.
The last time I ate at a Denny's (not by choice, my brother insisted and dragged me there), the quality was terrible. My friend ordered whole wheat toast and they actually brought it to her covered in mold! The food itself could have been improved by the mold I think - at least it would have gone from bland to having SOME kind of (icky) flavour!
