"The diner is iconic, and so is its menu. It's full of popular items, particularly for breakfast, but none are quite as popular as its Slams. A tribute to the legendary home-run-hitting baseball player Hank Aaron, Denny's created its very first Original Grand Slam in 1977. Mimicking the four bases in baseball, it came with four items, including pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage."
"I ordered a diverse sample that spanned from waffle and French toast-centered Slams to a Fit Slam and, of course, the OG. I ranked them based on their assemblage of ingredients, how well they were prepared, and whether they achieved the kind of breakfast harmony diners are known for. No on-screen drama or fights with the waitress here, just seven slams and the pursuit of the ultimate Denny's breakfast."
Denny's operates over 1,500 locations worldwide and has a presence in every U.S. state except Delaware. The Original Grand Slam, introduced in 1977 as a tribute to Hank Aaron, paired four items — pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage — to mirror baseball's four bases. The Grand Slam remains one of a dozen Slams on the menu. Seven different Slams were sampled and ranked by ingredient assemblage, preparation quality, and overall breakfast harmony. The Waffle Slam combines sweet and savory elements on one plate, featuring waffles alongside eggs and a choice of bacon and sausage options.
