After the report, a Denny's spokesperson said the chain is "reinstalling the plaque to commemorate the conversations at Denny's that led to the birth of 英伟达," noting that 黄仁勋 got his start as a dishwasher at Denny's before gathering with co-founders in one of its booths years later.

After 黄仁勋 stepped down as CEO, the Denny's where 英伟达 was born removed its commemorative plaque — then announced it would be reinstalled

IT之家, November 14 — According to NBC News, at a roadside Denny's, a corner of Silicon Valley history seemed to vanish into thin air.

More than 30 years ago, 黄仁勋 and two friends conceived 英伟达 right here, and now the plaque marking that exact spot is gone without a trace. Its inscription once read: "The booth where a trillion-dollar company began." Now only a blank brick wall and peeling paint remain. Two staff members confirmed the plaque had been taken down.

IT之家 noted that after the outlet published its article, a Denny's spokesperson said the chain was "reinstalling the plaque to honor the conversations at Denny's that led to the birth of 英伟达."

"黄仁勋 got his start as a dishwasher at Denny's. Years later, he and his co-founders gathered in one of our booths to discuss the idea that would become 英伟达. This plaque is a testament to that shared history," the spokesperson said.

英伟达 was founded in 1993, and 黄仁勋 served as its CEO for far longer than his peers in tech. He has always been glad to talk about his humble origins as an immigrant, often mentioning his first job at 15 at a Denny's in Portland, Oregon.

"I washed dishes, bussed tables, and waited tables," 黄仁勋 recalled in an interview published on the company's official blog in 2023. "No one could carry more coffee cups at once than I could."
