Microwaveable Restaurant Meals

Denny's Restaurant's Jambalaya in a Cup Can Be Made at Home

— June 21, 2014 — Lifestyle
In celebration of it being the 40th anniversary of Denny's restaurants, the chain is collaborating with Cup Noodle maker Nissin for a special microwavable version of its Jambalaya.

Although microwavable meals are loved for their affordability, the it will be interesting to hear how the Jambalaya in a cup will hold up to how it is served at Denny's on a plate, especially since a questionnaire determined that this meal was elected the dish that consumers would be most likely to order twice from Denny's. Now, frequent Denny's diners will be able to enjoy it on a far more regular basis.

The microwavable Denny’s Jambalaya will be available through 7-Eleven stores, supermarkets and Denny's restaurants themselves in Japan on June 24th.
