So one of my favorite meals to eat is the French Toast Slam from Denny's Restaurant. Now you may be wondering, "wow that's kind of weird and random, why that?" Well it's not really the meal that makes me like it so much, it's when and where I eat it that makes it special. I only eat it once a year when I go to our family's favorite vacation spot, Williamsburg, VA. We don't even eat at the Denny's in VA, it's actually in a place called Breezewood, PA. The Denny's there is themed as a 50's roadside diner. Inside it has sparkly seats and an authentic feel.It is always bustling with customers and the smell of breakfast food hits you right as you walk in the door. I guess it means alot to me because going to Williamsburg, VA is a family tradition since we've vacationed there every year in July since I can remember. My family is so traditional, so we end up doing the same things there every year including eating at alot of the same restuarants and eating the same meals. But this particular meal means alot to me because when we get to Breezewood, we are about halfway to our destination and we always eat at this Denny's. And I always end up getting the French Toast Slam each time. This meal is with out a doubt delicious, the warm fluffy french toast, melted butter, powdered sugar, and gooey syrup make a delectable combination. However, I think it symbolizes the start of one of my favorite weeks of the year. It symbolizes the start of my family's vacation and one of our own traditions. When I sit eating the French Toast Slam I know I'm in for a good week and I'll make new memories and reminisce old memories at a place I call my second home. While eating at the Denny's in Breezewood, I sit with my family and can't help but become so excited about the week ahead and know by afternoon I'll be in beautiful Williamsburg, VA, a place I think about all the time. I honestly think if I ate the French Toast Slam any other time of the year, it wouldn't taste as good. It just wouldn't be as special. I think this is a good example of how food symbolizes togetherness and how it brings friends and family together. For me, it symbolizes a time for my family and I to start a week together only with each other and nothing else in the way. Eating my French Toast Slam every year is truly the start of a wonderful week.
