| - Wow. I've been to some Denny's, and don't get me wrong, some of them are awesome...but THIS Denny's, in the Sandman Calgary West Hotel, is TOTALLY AWESOME.
Ok, so tonight, I had a prime rib, sizzling stirfry, with mashed potatoes, cheese, bacon, broccoli and sour cream. Oh my God, wow!!! I thought Denny's was just supposed to be a place that is open late. The food here totally changes everything. It's REALLY good.
That's the thing, I've eaten at really expensive places before, and I don't get it. I had that meal tonight, with an orange juice AND a slice of yummy chocolate cake for under $20. Like, how is that possible? I can't go to the supermarkert and buy that stuff, uncooked, and cook it myself for anything close to that price, and it certainly would not taste awesome like it does at Denny's.
Ok, I also had the grand slam for breakfast, and wow, was it good. Like that's the thing...there are so many choices on the Grand Slam, it's basically 'build your own breakfast', any way you want. I sometimes got pancakes (especially the awesome pumpkin pie pancakes they had over the holidays), with whipped cream, sausages, bacon. Lately, like today, I've been getting oatmeal, with brown sugar, bacon, sausages (can you tell I like bacon and sausages?), warm buttermilk biscuits with butter, and usually orange juice to go with it. Everything is totally awesome, but the buttermilk biscuits...oh my God, they're just too good. I mean, I COULD probably eat about six of them, but I usually try to limit my daily intake to two. :)
I had two bowls of oatmeal this morning because I was off to the gym for a few hours, and even though I went through 8 excercises, 45 minutes of cardio and maybe 20 minutes of yoga, I wasn't hungry at all by the time Ieft the gym. That's the thing...the breakfast, well actually, all the food here is really healthy. I don't put garbage in my body, so that's why I eat at Denny's. I like the 'Livestrong' idea of eating before and after a workout, and Denny's has really healthy food. My breakfast was about $13, which is unbelievable. I have a feeling I might be eating at Denny's a lot more often.
Now I really want to mention the staff. A place doesn't get 5 stars on food alone. Yeah, the food is awesome, but the people that work here are really nice. They remember my name, they ask me how I am, they talk and joke with me, and they even remember what I like to eat. I've tried lots of things on the menu...the delicious roast (yeah, I know, roast, I can't believe it either), the awesome fish, the prime rib or chicken sizzling stirfry's, like, everything was really good. What I don't get is, how do they remember everything? They don't even seem to write it down. Whoa, that's good.
Like, on the weekends, people sometimes stop here on their way to the mountains, or on their way to Canada Olympic Park. Sometimes the place has been kind of busy when I've been here, but the staff are still friendly. I know I would be frazzled if I had to deal with so many people, or I'd be running away, yet they're joking with me and are really friendly. The manager makes time to stop by and say hi. If it's not too busy, and even when it's moderately busy, I can choose pretty much where I want to sit, and they always seem to have the day's paper. I've even had it brought to me a few times. Wow, now that's awesome.
This place gets 5 stars because the people AND the food are totally awesome. Thank you for so many awesome meals. You guys rock.
