  • Dennys or IHop...Dennys vs IHOP? It's a tough one. I took the taste test and tried to figure out which iconic American food establishment does a better breakfast. I looked at bacon, eggs, pancakes and umm hash browns? How do I want my eggs? Errrr... cooked.

You always pretty much know what you're going to get. I prefer an honest-to-god greasy spoon diner when I know of a good one near where I happen to be, but, in the 'dark days' before the internet, finding one on the road was chancy. Some would inevitably fall into the classification of what my dad called by the generic name 'Ptomaine Tavern'.

    For the hashbrowns, I like to throw the eggs over them and mix them up, and then scoop bites of that.
    Bacon, you are authorized to eat with your hands.

My preferred distribution on Denny's serving of HB is 4-6 nickel size dollops of ketchup, a liberal sprinkling of pepper (cracked if I've remembered to bring in my pepper mill) and 10-12 dashes of Tabasco before stirring the whole pile up.
