Default Food Rant

OK, I gotta vent, so I hope you don't mind that I do it here. And yes I sent a complaint to Denny's about the response that I recieved.
Anyone else here remember the Breakfast Dagwood? The item use to be served at Denny's Restaurants until the about 2004, when it was removed from the menu claiming that it was to unhealthy, even though other menu items served at Denny's had more calories or could be see as equally unhealthy.
Having talked to a long time employee of Dennys I had found out that part of the reason they stopped making it was they item required a specific bread that was only used for that food item. Therefore, it became uneconomic to purchase that bread for a single item, and thus the menu item was dropped. However, all the other components, the eggs, cheese, bacon, sausage, etc were still carried (just not the bread (a boule bread (which was hollowed out to make room for the 3 egg omlette whichw as placed inside))).
Well I have been told in the past that if I could get the bread they would make it for me. And low and behold I have found a place that was willing to make the bread for me so I can bring it to Dennys and have my heart clogging dream fulfilled. Well low and behold I was told by the manager (who had only been there since 2007, many years after the Breakfast Dagwood was last offered) that he didn't know what it was, and therefore, I couldn't order it, even though I was willing to pay a premium for it to be made ... even though he wasn't going to be the one making it.
Sure, they have the Grandsland Breakfast Sandwhich now. But that pales in comparison.
Am I the only one who has found memories of a menu item that is no longer served, and have been meet with the same blocks in trying to get what you want?
