Denny's Introduces Bacon Sundae

[Renew Deal]

Look. We get it. Bacon is delicious.

But this might be taking things a little too far.

As part of its annual "Baconalia Festival," which features several bacon-based dishes -- tipple bacon BLT, bacon sampler, bacon flap jacks, etc. -- Denny's has just introduced a maple bacon sundae.

Watch Denny's Baconalia Commercials

So much bacon! Here are commercials for Denny's "Baconalia" festival with seven bacon-laden dishes, including the Maple Bacon Sundae. It's called "the sacred festival of bacon," "a cripsy feast of epic proportions," and "a celebration of baconian delights." Bacon is good and everything, but the commercial with the title "MMM's" has more moaning than we're really comfortable with.

Greatest Sundae EVER!

1. I heard a commercial for that this morning and about lost my breakfast

[Ian David]

2. We don't have a Denny's near us.

The last Denny's we went to was by Niagra Falls, on the Canadian side, and breakfast cost us about $50 (I don't remember Denny's being expensive like that).

[SidDithers]

5. That's just Niagara Falls...

everything there is 25%-50% higher than outside of the city.

Canadian Denny's, in general, are more expensive than their US counterparts though. :hi:

3. Mmmm....bacon!

Of course, a guy wouldn't have to eat all those meals, I think. One would do me just fine. I don't do Denny's, though.

4. I've had chocolate covered bacon

and I was surprised at how tasty it was. The combination of sweet and savory worked really well together. This would be similar. I'd probably like it.

6. I've had bacon toffee

Fabulous stuff!

[ThatPoetGuy]

11. You are correct.

Molecular gastronomists like Herve This and Heston Blumenthal have devoted a lot of time and energy to food pairings, and bacon/chocolate is a good one. Bacon contains at least eight different amide chains associated with umami.

I'd probably give this sundae a try, but I'm not sure where Denny's politics stand these days.

7. Remember: no one heads out for Denny's...

you end up at Denny's.

8. Bacon is piggies.

13. Bacon is yummie, therefore piggies are yummie! At least the bacon part. eom

[Shiver]

I bet he grows up to be delicious.

:evilgrin:

[jmowreader]

25. It is...

but they wait until they're not cute anymore to make bacon out of them.

[Kingofalldems]

9. An April Fools joke?

[onehandle]

10. There is an 'exotic' ice cream flavors shop here in Atlanta that has a bacon offering.

It's pretty popular.

[yawnmaster]

12. I'd try it. I do like bacon. eom

[Initech]

14. There must be a certain percentage of the population that just doesn't give a shit about health.

And I mean some places are trying - and then there's Denny's, Hardees, and Burger King going for the exact opposite.

[Spike89]

17. Yeah, but if you're eating fast food regularly...

even at a place that tries, you're not that concerned about health. It is kind of like dessert--either get something decadent or skip it totally. In other words, is it worse to eat a truly epic bacon-infused breakfast occassionally, or a semi-clogging meal every day?
All that said, I am all for adding some healthy options, especially to the kids menus.

[Initech]

19. True - Denny, Carl, Jack, Ronald, Wendy - they're not exactly health experts.

[lumberjack_jeff]

15. "Baconalia". That there's funny, I don't care who ya are. n/t

[SidDithers]

18. Whenever I hear that word, I think of the opening lines of A Christmas Story...nt

[KittyWampus]

16. Clever advertising. And I'd like to try a gourmet version of a bacon sundae w/ quality ingredients

[On the Road]

20. I Saw That a Couple of Nights Ago

(Denny's was the only place open) It also has maple syrup IIRC.

My girlfriend asked why the government didn't start controlling restaurant menu items. She is from China, so I had to explain that that is not how things work in this country.
