It’s been a whirlwind two weeks. First, a divine birthday dinner at Capo and a few days ago, a sweet surprise proposal from my Jason.
Our first breakfast together as a newly engaged couple called for something unique, something special to us. So we went to Denny’s.
When we first started dating, we discovered a common appreciation for country-fried steak slathered in gravy. It’s tenderized round steak, battered and deep-fried, though it more often borders on mystery meat.
And so we went full circle Saturday morning, revelling in Denny’s country-fried steak and eggs with shredded hash browns. Jason’s eggs were over-easy, mine scrambled and we both got sourdough toast. The meat was um questionable, but it was still nice.
I could see us 50 years from now at some Denny’s, sitting across from each other moaning about how it’s too bad the country-fried steak isn’t on the seniors discount menu.
Denny’s, locations across North America. For fun, here’s Denny’s Japanese website.






Congratulations on your engagement, that’s so exciting!
Oh Congrats!
That’s really awesome
All the best you two!
Congratulations…you must keep us up to date on catering plans when you start wedding planning!
Congratulations on your engagement! I’d also love to hear about your catering plans. My wife and I were married this summer and really lucked out on the food – we went to Fort Calgary, which has the same kitchen as the Deane House restaurant.
Congrats. You two deserve each other…”common appreciation for country fried steak”…too funny.
Do you remember Wendy’s used to sell a country fried steak sandwich? Good memories.
it would’ve been funny if he put the ring in a piece of country-fried steak slathered in gravy
That is a great way to celebrate your engagement! Congrats.
Congratulations! I agree that is the perfect way to celebrate, how romantic
