What is the appeal of Applebees?

Also on the main topic, I have never been to an Applebees, but, hearing my mom repeatedly go there and bring up the same complaints, I’ve never had an unction to go anyway.

I personally find local joints that can outdo any chain to be more satisfying. I’m not even a fan of going to tourist-trap restaurants like Hard Rock. That stuff pissed me off on my senior trip to Nashville, like “God, we’re in another city, let’s eat at one of their GOOD restaurants.”

And why do we even go there? Just to get a Hard Rock shirt with the name of the city on it? Shoot, I could claim to have been to Anchorage if I go to Goodwill and search their T-Shirt section, containing 500 of these shirts.

Honestly, the only American sit-down restaurant chain I’ve been to overseas is Outback in Korea, and it wasn’t too bad, but don’t ask me to go back. Got my hopes up for a steak, to find an 8 oz. Sirloin costs $100 in Seoul. GTFO. If I’m paying $100 for a steak, it better be that slab of beef John Candy had to eat in The Great Outdoors, that could feed a large Ethiopian village. Or it better be cut off a Hindu cow.

Fast food joints overseas don’t count, because we all know what we’re getting into there.

I used to go to Applebees with some other friends and troll the fuck out of the other patrons.

My friend would put on his aviator sunglasses and stare down somebody. I would stand on one end, right behind the victim, and signal my friend if they were looking. Once the signal was given, my friend would take off his glasses and reveal that his eyes rolled back to his head. Another friend would covertly record the reactions on his video camera. Much laughs were had.

Oh yeah, and the boneless wings were fucking awesome if you were blazed as hell.

Half-priced shit food is still shit food.
Don’t you live in California or some shit?
With ALL the authentic Asian and Mexican food you could be having you seriously think you only have a choice between Applebee’s and McD’s?
And you think everyone else is a fucking idiot???

Drive out of Chinatown and expand your horizons. You don’t have to settle for chain slop to try something different.

Marijuana makes shit food taste great.

I had Applebee’s tonight. It was free. A new location was giving away food so the chefs could train.

I’m pretty sure all AB’s died around here and were replaced with obscure burgers places which are all good in there own way.
