What are my most memorable Denny's experiences?
Hmm, whenever the waitress/waiter brings my grits to the table with their thumb slightly inside of the bowl. Especially if I spot dirt beneath their nail. That's memorable.

Bourbon is the worst alcohol I ever tried. It's worse than scotch. Vodka and grapefruit juice is THE drink.
