Denny’s Doles Out Free Sammiches
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Wednesday, April 8th, 2009
I’m guessing their Super Bowl advertising blitz must have been a rousing success because Denny’s is offering a free Grand Slamwich (a $6.99 savings) with the purchase of any Grand Slam breakfast till 2 p.m. today.

Their latest mealtime monolith features two scrambled eggs, seasoned sausage, shaved ham, bacon, American cheese and mayonnaise pressed between grilled, maple-spiced potato bread (sounds like someone wants in on the McGriddle’s marke sharet).
Now, I’m all for free grub.
But the whole maple-infused bread thing sounds like a dealbreaker to me. I’m the type of lunatic that prefers his Monte Cristo drowning in hollandaise–a la D.C.’s Dubliner–rather than marred by raspberry preserves.
Which is why I suspect the Moons Over My Hammy (Swiss and American cheeses, eggs and ham on grilled sourdough; toss the hash browns into the mix for added crunch) will remain my Denny’s go-to. At least until someone resurrects the glorious Good Morning Burger (two patties, over easy egg, bacon, ham) compiled by Colonel Mustard’s Phabulous Phatburgers.

This guy has been a fan of Pollo Campero
ever since the Central American fried chicken giant burst onto the local dining scene with their traffic-stopping Bailey’s Crossroads outpost.
When they first arrived, the incredibly long lines kept me impatiently at bay. And I must admit I was a bit perturbed by their morally ambivalent mascot (for more on hospitality logos gone Hannibal Lecter, go here).
But all my reservations flew out the window once I got a hold of the signature chicken (crackling, herb-rubbed skin, juicy white meat), vibrant sauces (zesty symphonies of tomatoes, smoke and roasted peppers) and daringly delicious side items (bacon-spiked pinto beans, Spanish rice, savory tostones).
Those who’ve not yet sampled this alterna-bird can do so this Thursday, when the company offers up free chicken sandwiches (fried or grilled; 1 per customer) as part of a new promotion.
The giveaway is good at all their D.C.-Metro locations. To find a store near you, look here.
