Denny’s enthusiasts are sizzling mad over a whopping price increase for one of the restaurant’s popular “slam” breakfast platters, which has tripled in cost in recent years.

The chain that brought Moons Over My Hammy to the world is the latest fast-food purveyor to embrace the trend of dramatically increasing prices as brands have struggled with inflation and increased labor costs as new minimum wage laws have gone into effect.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

The chain is taking a bold approach to streamlining its menu as it seeks to outshine casual-dining competitors. Across the country, restaurants are still challenged by price-conscious consumers dining out less, exacerbated by rising costs for operators across the board. Despite the deep discount battle continuing in the casual-dining space, Outback Steakhouse is opting for a different strategy that packs a one-two punch: It’s going to simplify the menu by cutting the number of items, and add higher-value items that better resonate with guests. The end result will be less offerings overall, but tailored to what Outback customers truly want, targeting higher satisfaction.

Burger King has enjoyed stronger sales in its U.S. market in recent quarters as the company’s marketing has resonated and efforts to improve operations have taken hold. But those efforts apparently ran into a buzzsaw known as the 2024 domestic fast-food market, where the bulk of restaurant chains are struggling to tread water as diners cut back on the frequency of visits to their local drive-thrus.
