Katy Perry, Hoobastank Among 'Rockstar' Denny's Endorsers

Don't be alarmed the next time you step into a Denny's after 10 p.m. The servers are supposed to look like that. And by that, we mean alt-rock archetypes, clad in T-shirts and jeans as monster jams pipe in through the restaurant's tinny speakers. That's right: Denny's has announced a round of "Allnighter"-related "Rockstar Menu" items, backed by such artists as Katy Perry, Taking Back Sunday, Boys Like Girls and Hoobastank.

"Denny's has been a late-night destination for musicians for over 50 years," Mark Chmiel, Denny's chief marketing and innovation officer, said in a statement. "We're continuing to own the night in keeping with our rock 'n' roll heritage. These items were created by the artists in our Denny's kitchens, and we look forward to sharing them with guests and fans."

And the menu, as described by Denny's, is...
* The Hot N Cold Cherry Chocolate Cappuccino: A tasty, multi-layered concoction inspired by the singer’s new hit single, “Hot n’ Cold.” Katy Perry’s pick-me-up drink includes cherries, vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, French vanilla cappuccino and whipped cream with a cherry on top.
* Taking Back Sunday’s Melty Grilled Chicken and Sausage Quesadilla: The New York rockers Taking Back Sunday have cooked up a quesadilla that will fill any late night cravings. The dish is a large flour tortilla, stuffed with chicken breast, sausage, American cheese, fire-roasted peppers and onions, fresh pico de gallo and served with a cilantro-lime ranch sauce.
* The Great Eggsteak: Boys Like Girls introduce a hot roast beef sandwich with peppers and onions, pepper jack cheese, scrambled egg and spicy mayonnaise on sourdough bread. Served with hash browns.
* The Hooburrito: Hoobastank serves up a burrito with crispy chicken strips, pepper jack cheese, cheese sauce, fried onion crispers and a hint of barbecue sauce. Served with tortilla chips, and a side of cheese sauce and ranch.
