I haven't eaten another pancake since this was filmed 💀

Your first mistake was going to a Denny's in the morning while sober, instead of the ideal time, which everyone knows is 2 AM while absolutely shitfaced after a night at the bars.

This is my slogan for Denny's:  "Denny's is not a place you go to; it's a place you end up"

18:31 The syrup poured out quickly, because it's actually maple syrup, not high fructose corn syrup with a pinch of maple flavoring.

The issue with Denny's is that each one is completely different.  It all depends on their cooks.  You could go to a Denny's & have the worst food in the universe.  Then go to another one in the same city & have the best damn food you've ever had.  All based on their cooks

how do you choose a review from 2008 when its 2025 and use that for reference

Mushy hashbrowns is such an endemic problem that my wife would order them "cooked to death and beyond" just to maybe have a chance of them being crispy enough.

"breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is a sentence made up by Kellogg's so they sold more products.

bear claws are not a gimmick for the black bear diner, that's just what those pastries are called 😭😭

17:08 According to google, Denny's didn't sell pancakes when they first opened so The Original Pancake house is right stating as such. Denny's apparently didn't start selling pancakes as a regular menu item until the early 1960's. Denny's was originally called Danny's Donuts and was known for selling...well donuts and coffee.

ive never been to a cracker barrel so when you said "you can buy anything" i was like "no way they have limited edition pokemon merchandise and cards" , and then this happened 20:50

to be fair that ihop review was from 2008, its been 17 years LMAO

I think it’s less about waking up early to just wait and eat pancakes and rather entirely about eating early with friends and family. It just hits different that way imo

I'm so glad you liked Black Bear Diner! They are one of my go to spots for breakfast food. It's always big portions, decent pricing and the food has never disappointed me when I've gone.

The first Black Bear Diner was established in the City of Mt. Shasta in 1995, way up in Northern CA.
I used to eat there before they became a chain.
There are a lot of Black Bears up there.
My dad used to stand guard over me in the early 1970 with a US Army M1 Carbine while I was fishing up there as a kid.
The rangers in the mid 90s used to be armed with high powered squirt gun/rifles with ammonia mixture to spray the bears to keep them out of the campgrounds. Had shotguns with rifled slugs as backup
The last Grizzly Bear (State Animal) was shot and terminated there in 1923.

It’s insane to me that “fried rice” on a breakfast menu was interesting for you. In Hawaii, fried rice is a breakfast, lunch & dinner item lol. With manyyyy different “fried rice” variations - breakfast fried rice (usually with eggs & spam), Kimchee fried rice, garlic fried rice, etc. It’s on every menu & listed for every meal!

5:49 that review was from 2008 😭 16 years ago

Black Bear Diner is absolutely so underrated I have went there so many times and I loved the food there glad you checked it out

Favorite quip from the video, re Cracker Barrel: "This breakfast chain is loved by many people ... my girlfriend ... the elderly ... and that's mostly it."

""Below 30 degree weather" had me laughing in Midwest! Try -20 degree weather once 😅
