1582 Chef Chez

There's been a lot of jawboning recently about Denny's restaurants and their new high calorie cheesy offerings. And Denny's seems to love it. Their most recent advertising confirms it. Right up front, bold and proud, they proclaim "Let's Get Cheesy!"
And they seem to know that cheesy also means, well, cheesy, because they say it with aplomb. Possibly a cheese-stuffed plum.
The biggest controversy seems to be over their Mac'n Cheese Big Daddy Patty Melt, which, with included fries, weighs in at about 1700 calories. The mac'n cheese, by the way, is not a side dish. It's loaded directly onto the sandwich before the whole thing is fried on a greased grill.
So my question. If you have fries, why the mac'n cheese? Aren't you sort of doubling up on the starch? And is this what America needs? More cheese and starch in our diet?
One of the other dishes in their new cheesy menu is something called the "Winner Winner Cheesy Dinner." Which, from the picture, appears to be chicken-fried something with melted pepper jack cheese-laden white gravy, served with a side dish of, you guessed it, mac'n cheese.
But that's not all. Nope, they have a “healthy” side dish with it as well—Broccoli. And what's on the broccoli? Yep. Melted cheddar cheese. The Winner Winner Dinner seems to be "winner" as in the famous Cheesy Charlie Sheen, "Winning!"
Denny's call themselves "America's Diner" and I guess they think they represent the average American diner too. Because you know, with the American obesity epidemic, that's what we need. More cheese on every offering on our plate.
Their ad also says their cheesy specials are, "for a limited time only."
Kind of like your time on earth after Denny's is done with your arteries.
America, ya gotta love it.
