A Gemini-generated retelling of Jensen Huang lore says he started at Denny’s as a dishwasher, worked up to waiter, and later co-founded Nvidia in a San Jose Denny’s booth.
The anecdote frames Denny’s as part of Nvidia’s origin story: cheap meals, endless coffee refills, and long brainstorming sessions before the company became a giant.
