Chow Good Morning, America
Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 6:00 AM
From right now until 2 p.m., Denny's is giving a free Grand Slam breakfast to everyone in America patient enough to wait in a very long line for a free Grand Slam breakfast at Denny's.
David Schmader went and experienced the bounty last February:
Flowing past slowly but steadily was a stream of sated customers, freshly stuffed with free Grand Slams and staggering out full and happy and lightly dazzled by their good fortune. "I didn't have to pay a thing, man!" came a shout from within a group of bleary-eyed guys in sports jerseys, passing the just-parked car with the boomin' system spitting out another batch of high-school lunch-breakers to join the line. Close to the entryway, a fellow patron—unidentifiably punk or homeless or both or neither—smoked marijuana discreetly.
UPDATE: The Denny's that was in SODO is no longer a Denny's. The nearest Denny's is at Aurora and North 155th Street in Shoreline. Have at it.

I'm actually awake before 2 pm for once, and my reward is free food at Denny's? That is not positive reinforcement.

I just did this and it was awesome! The food and service were unusually good. It would seem that Denny's performs better under pressure.

@3 and others: Pancakes and eggs are not shit. Especially when its free.
And I thought I was crabby....

Yeah, right. The nearest Denny's to me is at least five miles away. I'm gonna trek all the way over there and stand around for an hour in seven-degree weather for pancakes and eggs? I don't think so.

@8: Where's your sense of adventure?
Listen, I've been laid up with gestational diabetes since mid-December. I'd crawl naked through five-foot snowbanks for pancakes at this point.

It was fun!
We were actually talking about how you should have live-SLOGged it, since there were probably way more Stranger readers there than participated in your football thing.

Got up this morning to find the 17 year old's bed empty with a note that his friends picked him up for the Denny's promotion - a guy we have to dynamite up every day! Apparently they were there just past 6:00 am and returned well in time for school. Teenagers and free food....

I did it last year and it was fun, because I went wih several cool people. But going all the way up to Shoreline for $5 of food?
Well, maybe I will do it.

My family and I just finished eating our free breakfast. Wasn't bad, took home the sausages and bacon for later.
