\"dennys<\/a>In an effort to be competitive with other restaurant promotions, such as IHOP’s offering of Never Ending Pancakes on February 24, Denny’s has come out with a whopper of a bad idea. Starting now and continuing through the end of March, Denny\u2019s is offering unlimited free refills of both French fries and pancakes<\/span> at participating locations nationwide. Valid 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the offer applies to any order of French fries or pancakes<\/span> served with an entr\u00e9e, including both original buttermilk pancakes<\/span> and Denny\u2019s Hearty Wheat pancakes<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u201cClearly times are still hard and everyday we\u2019re all looking for ways to stretch hard-earned dollars farther and farther,<\/em>\u201d said John Dillon, Vice President Marketing, Denny\u2019s Corporation. \u201cBy offering unlimited refills on not just one but two favorite items, we are able to provide even more everyday value on items our guests love. Who doesn\u2019t want seconds of pancakes<\/span> and fries\u2026 especially when they\u2019re free?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Repeat after me – free is not always good. And often free comes with a non-monetary price tag.<\/p>\n

A serving of Denny’s Original pancakes consists of three pancakes at 510 calories. The misleading Hearty Wheat pancakes are not much better, at three for 460 calories. One five-ounce serving of French fries contains 425 calories and 23 grams of fat. An entree ranges from 370-1000 calories. So, one entree, plus two servings each of pancakes and fries – more than tw day’s worth of calories. In one MEAL.<\/p>\n

Don’t be swayed by the marketing. If you really want pancakes, make them at home. This recipe for Better Blueberry Pancakes<\/a> contains only 140 calories per serving. As for fries, bake them; try these baked sweet potato fries<\/a>.<\/p>\n
