applebees, chilis, black eyed pea, all variations on the same theme of bizarre yet bland food experimentation. nothing is quite what it should be. you order chicken strips if you're boring, or fajitas, or something on the menu and the ingredients list is really weird but you still have some kind of expectation of what's to come. Even their burgers are like this, and then it comes to you on its little plate served in your booth with your friends and you bite in, and it tastes all hosed up. these aren't fajitas. they're spicy encabritio fritter fajitas with borbo sauce. they don't have the real fajitas anywhere. you were lied to. it cost $10 for this. and a tip because you're not a jerk. it cost $15 or so at the end. maybe $20 if you were drinking a bit. the bacon doesn't even taste like bacon.

i wake up every day and immediately start thinking in code. ruby on rails. as i chug a quart of soylent. later i wipe myself down with a wet towel to soak up the excess grease. I don't have time to shower. i see someone enjoying their food and scoff. at work a co-worker is bashing on applebees and i smile sublimely at how above all of it i am. with the way the occulus rift is coming i may well see the singularity in my lifetime. heh.

its pretty obvious why though, with chicken being the main bird eaten in the country and chicken breast usually marketed as the best cut, which is pretty much the furthest you can get from duck

one thing i never got was if you had a soft drink they'd just keep on giving you cup after cup instead of just refilling the one cup you had. you'd eventually have a table full of cups

I have a friend who works for an extermination company and told me never to repeat this but here it goes anyway. Applebees all across the state (and assuming across the country as well) have horrible problems with bugs contaminating the vegetable supplies. The extermination company goes out there pretty regularly to try and fix the roach problems, and roaches aren't a common problem in this part of the country. The last time I had Applebees it was paid for with a gift card. I had a pasta dish and it was barely more than a cup of noodles that had frozen broccoli and alfredo sauce, but it had clearly been microwaved because the sauce had started to separate. It tasted like poo poo and I was still hungry after, and it cost something like $15. In retrospect I would have rather just thrown the gift card away.

most goons who love applebees probably just go to eat chicken tenders and french fries and try to delude themselves into think its better then fast food because it costs more and a person brings it to the table.Breetai posted:A couple of months ago I started a thread with a similar topic to this one where I lauded my local Afghan place and showed a picture of their Tikka Mashawyat Mazdat, and someone posted something along the lines of 'well that's all well and good but you're being ripped off by paying more I'll bet that after you're done eating they just scrape any remaining sauce off of that bowl and into the pot again so that they don't need to use refills as much' and talked about how the sauces probably get sent into the restaurant by a delivery company and all I could think was here's a person who has been so broken by eating nothing but chain food all their lives that they've either never been in a place where the cooks make a sauce from scratch using spices and poo poo, or think that places like that are somehow outlandishly rare. It's pretty hilarious that anyone can think that national chain restaurants have anything remotely in common with smaller local restaurants. It's like two entirely different cultures where the only overlap is that they hate picky customers. The whole point of the chains is to create an assembly line of food production where you need literally no cooking skill to slap together the dish in order to minimize costs down to counting pennies. Olive Garden doesn't even salt pasta water or toss cooked pasta with sauce because its allows them to get longer warranties on their pots and its faster to plop ladles of sauce from a vat onto a plate of mushy noodles and the extra 2-3 minutes it would take to do it right is considered an unnecessary expense.

applebees is okay for half-price appetizers. like 4 bucks for a huge gently caress-off plate of okay nachos is alright in my book, but lol if you actually order entrees there
