For a movie that no one really wants and that probably shouldn’t have been made, Solo: A Star Wars Story is way more fun than it should be! For a meal that no one really wants and that probably shouldn’t have been made, go to Denny’s!

In a remarkable display of corporate synergy never before attempted (except for when they did it for The Hobbit), Denny’s has created a special Solo-themed menu. Because we are purveyors of culture and cuisine, myself, Mercury Calendar Editor Bobby Roberts, and Mercury Editor-in-Chief Wm. Steven Humphrey got up early, stole the Mercury credit card, and went to the Denny’s in Northeast Portland, an establishment best described by noting that a gentleman in the parking lot was wearing a sleeping bag as a cape.

With honor and distinction, Erik Henriksen served as the executive editor of the Portland Mercury from 2004 to 2020. He can now be found at henriksenactual.com.
