Stories about Europeans visiting America and finding everything "big" is a common theme and reminds me of this joke about drunk foreigner who fell into the hotel swimming pool and, in a panic, started screaming "DON'T FLUSH! DON'T FLUSH!"

Most Americans would describe Denny's as "fucking gross" hahahaha. Your meal confirms this.

That plate at Denny's was completely unacceptable. Denny's isn't great, but they're usually not that bad.

I love how you're just talking and then say "I'm in Portland" and I'm like WAIT WHAT because I live in Portland how cool! And you came on a good day. It snows maybe once every 4 years.

If you ever get a chance to come to Texas, you'll have to try smoked brisket (beef). It is slow cooked (about 10 hours) and it melts in your mouth (I mean that almost literally). The only bad thing is that once you have it, any other form of beef will be forever unsatisfying. Also, while in the south, try biscuits with gravy. They're not too big (about the size of a baseball), but they do taste good and weigh less 5 Kg. :)

i know what you mean about the food. i very rarely eat out. i would recommend getting the a la cart items or sides. i know that at dennys they have a $2, $4, $6, $8, menu or something like that, well they have it in Southern California where i live. its called the 2, 4, 6, 8 menue i think and its cheaper and a bit smaller. i would recommend getting soda or iced tea because there are free refills and im sure those are also cheaper than getting a milk shake or other fancy drink. also a glass of water with ice is always free. i would make sure its purified but it should be lol. that would be weird if it was just tap water lol.

I wouldn't have thought that Denny's is an ideal place to get your first taste of America. I think of it as maybe a place truckers run in to eat; not the best representation of American food. But I'm glad you got something to eat.

Country gravy would be a bechamel with the fat portion of fat/flour being pork fat, usually has crumbled sausage thrown in.

Very nice video and welcome to USA

Great fusion background music. That's rare. Are you a fan of the genre?

That was so cute how you called it mash you're adorable. Yes the portions are huge in America that's why there's so many fat Americans lol. When you order gravy or sauces at a restaurant in the US you have to tell them "only a little bit". Because a lot of places use too much.

I don't get why all foreigners think Americans only eat fast food. Most Americans think it's horrific, but what's the first thing a foreigner do when they get here? Dive headfirst into a Cinnabon like a honey badger, then wash that down with a 5 Guys burger for lunch, while the dip the fries in the chocolate shake. (I've seen it!) then let's go to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. My God! NO! Just because we have all that stuff doesn't mean you should eat it everyday. To the foreigners that say all Americans are fat, I'd like to see you come on over here for a year & see how thin you'd stay. You'll soon see the struggle.

I was in Germany to visit my sister and I thought Germany was big, people were surprisingly friendly, the food was great and fresh, the portion size was about equal to what I would receive in the US. I immediately felt like home. I think the difference is I didn't have a preconceived notion of Germany based on what was on the television and I wasn't judgemental like Europeans.

It's hard to be humble when you were fortunate to be born an American!!! Yes, we just are the most awesome country on Earth!!!

Denny's (and IHOP) are notorious for giving you huge amounts of food - as you discovered.

You're Very Sweet!!! Don't ever change. :)

Next time you're in Portland or the Pacific NW, eat at Shari's instead of Denny's. Also open 24 hrs and better food. If in Seattle, I also recommend 24 Coins which is also open 24 hrs but its more upscale and a but pricey. And there's a 24 Coins across Sea-Tac International Airport.

Our food is big because it's a country of Abundance especially food. Americans used to be very hard working we got very hungry and had the food. America is young, Britain came over and other Immigrants and we had to build and farm the entire country. That work requires a lot of food. The industrial revolution and before Americans worked hard and needed that extra food for strength. Often when working we'll skip lunch and often breakfast so tend to get very hungry and when you finally eat you want a lot. It became the normal here to have big portions

Our Denny's is ALWAYS out of a half a dozen or more of ingredients, sometimes whole menu items can't be made because they have nothing to make it with. I swear a toddler could manage their truck orders better than the employees there.

When people say they came to the US, they might as well say city or state they went too. Since Americans usually only visit eight states in their lives, you gotta know where your talking about. An experience in Mississippi is very different than NYC, or Honolulu, Miami, or Colorado.

America is very kind to the homeless with food. So I'm sure he didn't starve.

Hope it's not too cold.

Yeah, the only thing that gravy belongs on is biscuits, for sure...

Every restaurant has some kind of soup and salad.

shoulda got that burger... Denny's is like a diner but a chain.

That dish really was a mess. You can ask for the gravy on the side. You can send it back to kitchen if it is unsatisfactory. And, at last resort, you can ask to speak to the manager. You could have explained your reason for dissatisfaction. He may have offered you an alternative meal or simply not charged you for the meal.

Today I learned the word "quadriculated."

haha. Thats Denny's. I eat there though.

I went to Denny's.... ONCE!

For those outside of the US, Denny's is the McDonald's of diners. It's OK, but almost every diner is better than Denny's.

Lol, Phoenix is tiny compared to some cities.

Arizona smells funny.

you cant come to Portland and goto Dennys to eat,

Denny's isn't bad for Breakfast, but I wouldn't wanna eat there for other meals. And it's called gravy...not white sauce.

The waiter/waitress is there to help you order. Just tell them what your in the mood for and they will set you up. You could have ordered something simple. Don't be shy. Btw, Denny's isn't very good.

the u s is too liberal i think. I like England, only went once, want to go again, but its true, our spaces are huge. our portion sizes are too big and unfortunately it is something we need to fix. I think Americans can learn to be more polite than we are. but i was shocked the British servers don't get tipped enough. they do an excellent job and it needs to be acknowledged in a practical way. I tried to anyway. I had an awesome time. As you are into biology, if you ever come to america again, you might be interested in my part of it. I live near U/R Strong . Rochester ny is the home of RIT which has a lot of science people and the University of Rochester /Strong is huge for certain fields of science.
