Denny's is well aware that it needs to get younger. After all, the company is over half a century old, and famous for attracting the senior set for 10 a.m. powwows over coffee. Saturday Night Live recently skewered the chain's reputation with this doozy from "Weekend Update" comedian Seth Meyers: "The director of Iowa's Department of Aging said he will not use the abbreviation DOA, since it is also code for 'Dead...
