Dissapointment: No Denny’s and the Death of a Legend

  Despite all the Denny’s hoopla, I didn’t get a free Grand Slam today.  No sir, not me.  No freebee for the master freeloader himself.  It’s my own damn fault really.  We got out of the house way too late.   Luckily, when my girlfriend and I were heading down

Free Grand Slam Breakfasts at Denny’s tomorrow!!!

Roughly 90% of my Denny’s experiences have taken place at the Pacific Beach location in San Diego.  If you’ve spent any significant time in “America’s Finest City” you know exactly which place I’m talking about (the corner of Garnet and Mission).  When I was growing up, PB was pretty cool.  It

My response to the bad Matador review

I recently got panned in this review on a travel website called Matador.  The author obviously doesn’t quite get it, so here is my response:   Hi Julie- Broke-Ass Stuart here.  I came across your article a few days ago and hadn’t planned on responding, but since you were so proud

I received this great email yesterday from a reader named Benny: I just read your book and it was very helpful. I went to a bar called Grant & Green In SF in North Beach and they have a special for one dollar PBR Cans. It was a friday night but you might wanna

Boozing, Blogging and Cheap Beautification

My usual morning routine is: wake up between 8:30 and 9:30, flick between the History, Discovery, Comedy and Travel Channels for an hour or so and then get on the computer.  I’m always amazed that by that time, all the blogs I check have already been updated that day, and
