You’ve seen the first television commercial for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, now wash it down with some Shire Sausage at Denny’s! The restaurant chain has announced a line of food of beverages based on the upcoming movie. I’m pretty sure the Hobbit Hole Breakfast was not what JRR Tolkien had in mind when he wrote the book, but let’s just go with it. Here’s a clip from the press release:
Denny’s new “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”-themed menu will feature a diverse selection of eleven new breakfast, lunch and dinner menu offerings including the “Hobbit Hole Breakfast,” “Frodo’s Pot Roast Skillet,” and “Build Your Own Hobbit Slam,” which includes new limited time holiday favorites such as “Pumpkin Patch Pancakes,” “Shire Sausage,” and “Seed Cake French Toast.”
Normally, I ignore restaurant tie-ins with movies, but this one is so cheesy (not in the dairy-product sense) that it makes me smile. I don’t even like Denny’s all that much, but I sure as hell am going to order some of these dishes when they become available on November 6, 2012.
Any of these Hobbit-themed concoctions sound good to you?
I may be stopping by the Denny’s around here once this rolls out. Suddenly the food sounds more appealing to me.
Fully! I hate when silly marketing works on me. Denny’s totally nabbed me with this campaign.
