Jewel Following Her Culinary Intuition, For Better Or Worse
Jewel moves from soothing babies to upsetting stomachs today as she takes a spin around the Denny’s test kitchen and test-drives an item for the restaurant chain’s Rockstar Menu, which has so far spawned the likes of the Hooburrito and the Sumwich. But what on earth could she be making? A larger version of her in action after the jump. MORE »

Denny’s Rock Star Menu, Mach II: Are Your Insides Ready For Something Called The “Hooburrito”?
In its continuing effort to welcome the huddled masses yearning to get out of their houses between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., Denny’s has brought a few new items to its Rockstar Menu, in which touring bands decide to out-gross each other with the help of the restaurant chain’s short-order cooks around the country. Last time out, America’s suburban insomniacs were treated to really sweet milkshakes, heart-shaped pancakes, chipped beef on toast, and french fries that had been subjected to a bacon cheeseburger circle pit. What mouth-watering offerings await you tonight? The four answers–courtesy of Taking Back Sunday, Boys Like Girls, Katy Perry, and Hoobastank–after the jump. (And no, I’m not making any of them up to “trick” you.) MORE »

Heart-Shaped Pancakes And White Chocolate Everywhere: Idolator Samples Denny’s Musician-Inspired Offerings
We’ve reported earlier on Denny’s attempt to reach out to the kids by inviting bands to design menu items, throwing Warped Tour afterparties, and playing alt-rock over the loudspeakers during the late-night hours. But since there’s no outpost of the 24-hour chain diner nearby, we couldn’t experience the marketing magic for ourselves–until last night, when the Idolator braintrust got invited to an event spotlighting the items on what Denny’s is calling its Rock Star Menu. Unfortunately the Metropolitan Pavilion didn’t have red plastic booths installed for the festivities (Denny’s-branded placemats would have to suffice), it was early evening and not the wee hours of the morning, and I was drinking rum-spiked Diet Dr Pepper instead of the virginal version that I’d normally be served. But otherwise former Denny’s beat reporter Anthony Miccio and I felt like we’d been transported back to the suburbs, complete with “Toxic” playing at top volume over the PA and me nearly choking on an onion ring. After the jump, our overall impressions of the menu’s musician-designed foodstuffs. MORE »
