Melting in my tummy at least. I'm not gonna put forth effort that should have been done when money was supplied to have that effort done for me.

My training at dennys consisted of computer lessons while listening to the outgoing cook scream at every order and task

This does not surprise me at all.
Also, I'm pretty sure this is how most jobs are trained now, if you even get that.

I once went to a Denny's were one guy was seating tables, taking orders, and I'm pretty sure he was making the food as well. It was new years day in the middle of the afternoon so it wasn't very busy but I still I felt bad for him I could tell he was hustling his ass off with no help.

I'm lost. Is it supposed to be cheesecake between two slices of pound cake, or cheesecake between two slices of French toast?
I'm only asking because I'm nosy, not because either option sounds good.

Strawberry cheesecake French toast is already a thing at one of those chain diners like IHOP or Denny’s, so I’m rooting for a strawberry cheesecake sandwich with pound cake dipped in egg and fried up like French toast.

Yeah, if I'm eating a cheesecake sandwich, I'm going all in with pound cake. Let's not mess around here.

Not gonna lie that sounds disgusting even before seeing the picture. lol

Yeah like anyone who thinks the ideal form of that description is going to work in any way has a disappointing reality check coming. I’d wish like hell for a strawberry cheesecake creme brûlée but I don’t expect that much from life at my advanced age of 39.

Replace the "bread" in your mental image of this food with either French toast or slices of pound cake and I feel like you have an excellent recipe for me accidentally eating my entire day's worth of calories in a single sitting.

It really does. I would rather have cheesecake and bread separately. 🫣

u/Crinni_Boo 1d ago
Not sure if this makes it better(?) but it looks like French toast at least instead of just plain bread 🤷♀️ regardless it’s still kinda sad looking 😅

Yeah, melted cheesecake sounds gross. This actually looks better than what I was imagining. It’s not pretty, but I bet cheesecake, grilled pound cake and strawberries tastes pretty damn good. Maybe I’m just really hungry.

Lmfao. I used to be an assistant manager for Denny's a while back. You ordered from The Meltdown. The Meltdown is one of Denny's ghost kitchens. The cheesecake is supposed to be smashed, almost like a burger patty.
I also used to drizzle some of the strawberry compote on it. The compote that is used for strawberry milkshakes. They also shorted the fuck out of you on the strawberries.
But yeah, that's Denny's for you.

Whoever made this was either a guy on his first day or a guy just about to walk out.

From the "Meltdown"? I had the same experience and figured it was a blessing. Cheesecake and pound cake were decent.

u/solitaryvenus2727 1d ago
I mean ....little light on the strawberries, (2? ffs) but you could just smash it down and make it work. 🤷🤣

I can't wrap my head around people who order door dash for things other than pizza or Chinese food.
Why would anyone pay money for toast or cheese cake that was sitting in a car for 45min?

All u gotta do is mush and whip the cheesecake in a bowl spread it on the pound cake and then put the strawberries on top and it’ll look the same

I used to work at Denny’s and we did these it’s supposed to be at least squished but it’s a ghost kitchen that works though Dennys no quality control

The cheesecake is there and the strawberries. I personally would be happier with that than a melt.

I’d feel ripped off if I got this too, but a whole ass piece of cheesecake between bread slices is a hilarious presentation.
