As much as it may pain you, stalwart readers, to hear this, but the curmudgeon is not perfect. I have my weaknesses. They are, of course, few and far between, but there it is.
Denny's is one. How can you beat a casual eatery open 24 hours a day, serving up cholesterol-ridden meals, and best of all having specials like baconalia and cheese sauce month? This is a diet I cannot refuse. Unfortunately, this being New Jersey, the nearest Denny's is 20 miles away in some central NJ town called Avenel. This is not good. We're talking 20 miles of central NJ traffic, not a Texas cakewalk on the Interstate. And worse, when you arrive, you're in Avenel (it's near the Jersey Turnpike, so you get the picture).
You might have noticed my use of the word "stalwart". Well, I too am stalwart and I bear the pain of a nearly Denny's-free existence stoically. I also race to the nearest one when I'm out of town.
Hey come and visit us! We can see Denny's from our front 'lawn'. Always a comfort visit when life is getting you down. We also are fans of Friendly's and were delighted to find one over in Kenilworth (?)
