Briefly

Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, attributes his business success to the work ethic he learned as a dishwasher at Denny's. He emphasized efficiency and organization during his time there, which laid the foundation for his later achievements. Huang's journey from Denny's to leading a $4.3 trillion company illustrates the importance of dreams and determination. Denny's honored him by adding a menu item called Nvidia Breakfast Bytes, celebrating his transformation from dishwasher to tech titan.
I planned my work. I was organized. I was mise en place. I washed the living daylights out of those dishes.
I never left the station empty-handed. I never came back empty-handed. I was very efficient.
Jensen's journey from Denny's kitchen and dining room to the pinnacle of the tech world is a testament to the power of dreams and determination.
We're deeply honored that America's Diner played a role in NVIDIA's origin story as a global AI powerhouse.
