If you are ever in California and want to have breakfast around some PC gaming history, Denny's dedicated a corner booth to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at its San Jose location, where its founders came up with the idea for a"chip that would enable realistic 3D graphics on personal computers." , the story goes that in 1993, the three founders of Nvidia— Huang, Curtis Priem, and Chris Malachowsy—got together at the San Jose Denny's to discuss the creation of a 3D graphics chip.
It's not uncommon for places like these to be the birthplace of billion-dollar companies or just a place to recover from a night out. 24-hour diners in the US have a long-standing tradition of not kicking you out as long as you don't cause trouble and at least order a cup of coffee. The CEO's first job was working at a Denny's at age 16, where he worked as a dishwasher, busboy, and waiting tables, bragging that"no one could carry more coffee cups than I can." He also said that his first hamburger and milkshake when his family came from Taiwan was at Denny's, so it makes sense that the restaurant chain holds a special place in his heart.
