Denny's Allnighter Inspires Fans to Eat and Cook Like a Rockstar

"The Rockstar menu gives our late-night guests the opportunity to enjoy meals that were literally created by some of the biggest entertainers in the world, and now those same guests can match cooking skills with those same entertainers from a computer or mobile device," said Mark Chmiel, chief marketing and innovation officer for Denny's. "'Cook Like a Rockstar' uses the cutting-edge technology preferred by late-night guests to deliver an experience that is only available at Denny's. The Allnighter program is constantly evolving and 'Cook Like a Rockstar' is the latest innovation in a heritage rooted in providing premium meals in an enjoying atmosphere a fair price."

Guests play "Cook Like a Rockstar" by choosing, combining, sizing and arranging Denny's ingredients from a drop down menu on a plate before finally naming the menu item. Platforms featuring the game include iPhone, Facebook, and the www.dennysallnighter.com Web site. The submissions will be featured and voted on at www.dennysallnighter.com starting Oct. 19. The grand prize is a private party for the winner, family and friends at a nearby Denny's, which will feature the winning menu item prepared and served by Denny's chef and staff.

Joining Jewel and Los Lonely Boys on the new Rockstar Menu are the two most popular Rockstar items to date, Rascal Flatts' Unstoppable Breakfast and the Hooburrito, developed by rockers Hoobastank. The Rockstar menu items featured on the Allnighter menu are currently available in Denny's nationwide.

The Denny's Allnighter program also features the Adopt-A-Band initiative, which not only provides up-and-coming bands with free meals, but allows fans to hang out and spend personal time with bands at Denny's locations, following concerts. Some of these late-night Adopt-A-Band parties often become extensions of a concert through impromptu acoustic jam sessions. To date, more than 40 bands including Katy Perry, Saving Abel, and Forever the Sickest Kids have benefitted through Denny's Adopt-A-Band program.
