No

The best thing about COVID is the possibility that at least one shitty chain restaurant might go out of business

>>17401131
How? Applebees is just overpriced shit you can make better at home? Or are you Ricky Bobby?

>>17401131
Come on bro. Applebee's? I literally can't think of a worse chain.

>>17401115

>>17401115
It’s the restaurant of choice for the greatest racing driver to grace the earth

>>17401157

>>17401115
Have they apologized for that condescending country song cross-promotion yet? All the other pub and grub places are pizza joints and I want a burger dammit

>>17401284

>>17401121
I hope all of them do

>>17401182
>>17401191
Based and Harmon-pilled

>>17401121
The one right by house closed a week or two ago, so you're not off on that.

>>17401115
I don't trust them, I found a dead rodent in their Cobb salad.

>>17401142
Do you not comprehend the concept of paying someone else to cook for you?

>>17403175
That's a maid

Most of /ck/ works there while pretending they’re 5-Star Michelin tire chefs. Bunch of larping faggots bragging on a cooking board

>>17401142
You can make everything better or worse than a restaurant. You’re just admitting you’re poor and can’t afford to go out to eat. Sorry you’re worthless.

>>17401284
Are you offended by a song about Applebees? Oh my god you people are insufferable.

>>17403261
It's not a song "about" Applebee's you lyriclet

Applebenis

I wrote this for a thread that is gone but it still applies
>they didn’t microwave our food evenly so it was half frozen and half scorching hot
Applebee’s and other chain restaurants don’t just stuff a TV dinner into the microwave, put it on a plate, and charge you $15 for it. All proteins are cooked to order. Vegetable and starch sides are prepped and portioned in the morning and steamed to order in the microwave. Any fried item goes into the fryer and is definitely not microwaved as you would fucking notice. Furthermore, microwaving certain foods doesn’t cook them in an inferior fashion, especially vegetables. And when you have a large volume of orders to process and you want to get the food out to the diner quickly, certain foods prepared earlier in the day and heated to serve temperature in the microwave is very convenient.

Let’s say you go for a night out at Applebee’s for a double date. You order a range of menu items:

Appetizer:
- Bone-in wings with Buffalo Sauce
- Spinach and Artichoke Dip* with Chips and Salsa
Meal:
- 8oz Sirloin with Broccoli* and Mashed Potatoes*
- Classic Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries
- Fiesta Lime* Chicken with Rice*
- Three Cheese* Chicken Penne
Dessert:
- Triple Chocolate Meltdown* with Ice Cream

The things that will enter the microwave will be:
- the spinach dip
- the broccoli
- mashed potatoes
- the fiesta lime SAUCE only
- the rice
- the cheese sauce for the penne
- the fudge cake for the meltdown

The wings will have been baked in the morning to pre-cook and then fried to order. The penne will be cooked in the morning and blanched in boiling water to reheat. The steak and chicken and burger are all cooked to order.

Applebee’s doesn’t receive everything pre-packaged like the Schwan food truck. They prep stuff in house in the morning and it’s heated or cooked to order. And EVERY RESTAURANT does stuff like this or you’d wait 30-40 minutes for your food.

>double date at applebees
you'd better all be college age retail workers who are friends and hang out like this often and on special occasions go to actual restaurants who actually cook actual food

>>17401115
I remember as a kid waiting in line to eat at Applebee's with my boomer mom and stepdad when it came to our city. Last time I ate at one I had a burger and it was really good, but that was like 15 years ago.

>>17401115
>Those fried onion petals you could get as a side there about 15 years ago
Damn. I miss those.

>>17403840
>waiting in line to eat at applebees
people do this? I've never been able to not walk in and sit at the bar and if I couldn't I could just walk down the street to the pizza tavern

>>17403856
This was early 90's. When the fast food sit down restaurant craze was just hitting. My boomer mom and stepdad also unironically thought Olive Garden was a fancy place to eat when it came to town.

>>17401142
half priced apps were kino back in the day, no idea if they still have that or what half price would be these days

>mfw my thread is still up

>>17404063
>it's a frogposter
alright thread's over everybody leave

>>17403820
This explains why everything seems a bit soggy and stale. Prep in the morning, including partially cooking pasta and wings. Finish and serve stale food 12 hours later.

>>17404119
no Triple Chocolate Meltdown for you then

>>17403744
tep kok

>>17401115
you are only allowed to eat at applebees if you are on a business trip with boomers to a suburban hellhole and have been given an expense account that allows for more than taco bell

>>17403820
I ordered a steak, the interior was refrigerated levels of cold. Pissed me off so I walked out whilst they attempted to fix it, a 3rd time. Cause the 2nd attempt was the same steak I cut into but microwaved longer.
Went to the shitty ass Texas Roadhouse down the road and ate a somewhat decent meal.

>>17404392
They used a woodfired grill to cook steaks, not a microwave. Stop lying

>>17404167
t. knows zero about running a professional kitchen

>>17404563
Then whoever cooked the steak failed to let it rest to room temperature because internally it was cold. don't gaslight me sperg, I know what I ate.

>>17404573
Yeah bad cooks at individual Applebee’s do exist but I have never had a bad steak from them

>>17404586
I'm gonna blame it on that. I wouldn't be surprised if you hadn't had a bad one either, it just ruined Applebees for me, especially with how they handled it. I enjoy their appetizers quite a bit.

>>17404565
Don't care about running a "professional kitchen" Applebees shill, just know soggy and stale food when I taste it.

>>17403255
Enjoy your over priced Americana. As far as being too poor, bitch I eat filet AT LEAST THREE TIMES A FUCKING WEEK. If you wanna eat that overpriced garbage goyslop, have it golem. I hope you choke on your food and then on a dick, fucking faggot.

>>17405750
lol yeah, filet o fuckin fish

>>17401115
you don't get enough food with your salt

>>17401115
Truly the bottom of the barrel of American family dining chains. Even Ruby Tuesday and TGIFriday are better.

I hope one day i will find the lost date with Satsuki at applebees pasta
>APPLEBEES IS CHEAP AND DELICIOUS

I worked as a cook at Applebees for 5 years, in 2 different locations. Kind of a shit place to work, pay was ok. The food was garbage. Everything is pre packaged, processed McDonalds tier quality. Consistent microwave use, if its not a steak or a fried item it goes in the microwave.

>>17405750
Lol what a poor piece of shit

>Had one near my house
>Closed down because the manager let too much nigger shit go on
Seriously, too many baby mama arguments and too many nigs being loud.

>>17401115
I worked at one for one shift and oh boy you don't want to eat there
