Scrambling for free eggs

Customers line up outside of Denny’s Restaurant, 710 Horizon Drive, as the business serves free Grand Slam breakfasts today after advertising the giveaway during the Super Bowl on Sunday.

According to Denny’s server Kristy Diaz, last year the restaurant served nearly 1,000 of the free breakfasts and, judging from the line outside, she expected to top that number this year. Denny’s will continue serving the free meal until 2 p.m. today .
