I look forward to the day when Denny’s creates a new menu that honors a vegetable and calls it something like Celery-bration. But until then, I’ll have to celebrate gooey cheese with Denny’s new “Let’s Get Cheesy!” menu.
The dishes include:
Mac ‘n Cheese Big Daddy Patty Melt – a hand-pressed beef patty topped with new creamy Mac ‘n Cheese, melted cheddar cheese, and zesty Frisco sauce on grilled potato bread, served with a side of wavy-cut French fries.

Each “Let’s Get Cheesy!” items does have a lot of cheese, but if your heart so desires (and if it’s weak, I hope it doesn’t), you can add even more cheese to any dish for an extra 69 cents. Also, you can substitute a serving of Mac ‘n Cheese to any entree for no extra charge.
The “Let’s Get Cheesy” menu is available all day, every day for a limited time only at prices starting from $4.99.
Actually, you know what? I no longer look forward to Celery-bration. I look forward to someday celebrating “Let’s Get Cheesy with Baconalia!”
