Dinner at Denny’s – New Years Eve
Chopped Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Garlic Toast (not Gluten-Free)
We’re at Denny’s for dinner. We found ourselves with no water in our apartment during the day today and they weren’t sure when it would be restored, so we checked into a motel. Dad and I routinely have breakfast at Denny’s, but we never eat any other meal there. They have a fairly large menu, although I am only familiar with the build-your-own Grand Slam as being gluten-free. I’ve tried eating the same items at another Denny’s in Detroit, but met with unfortunate consequences. Something wasn’t gluten-free, even though I thoroughly questioned the manager about ingredient listing and foods prepared on separate grills in the kitchen.
Fortunately, I never have any trouble with the Denny’s in our hometown. It’s a different crowd here in the evening than it is when Dad & I come here for breakfast. We’re here early enough in the evening to not catch the after-bar crowd, and that’s a good thing. Our server’s name was Katie and she did a great job of taking care of us and several others in her area.
Build-Your-Own Grand Slam (Gluten-Free)
Rick ordered the Mushroom Swiss Chopped Steak with green beans and hash browns. It came with garlic toast on this occasion, although on a later visit, it came with dinner rolls. He also ordered a Coke to drink. It was a very good meal! The portion was more than ample.
I ordered the Grand Slam (Build Your Own) with 2 sausage, 2 bacon, 2 eggs over easy, hash browns and a Coke. Whenever I order my meal at Denny’s, I always ask the server to make sure that it’s served hot. There has been a tendency in the past to receive your plate and it’s only warm. On this particular visit, it arrived piping hot.
No room for dessert, although I honestly don’t know what dessert would be gluten-free. Since I primarily visit Denny’s for breakfast, there’s no need to worry about the dessert choices.
