if i ever do win the lottery i want to make guy recreate this scene for me every birthday

outback steakhouse is a tier (maybe two) above applebees

not sure where chili's ranks now, it used to be slightly above applebees

my friend who does a lot of road food-style blog writing made me go to all the chain places a couple years ago

how bad can this be

http://www.applebees.com/menu/~/media/ABs0625/AM_Images/Menu%20B/Main_Dishes/Sizzling_Double_Barrel_Whisky_Sirloins.jpg?h=194&w=283

it doesn't boast a blue glowtini ice cube but still

probably edible, steak a little overcooked and the seasonings obviously from a mix, potatoes probably come in a vacuum bag

primary seasoning: salt. overwhelming flavor profile: bland

needs more pepper jack

ribs from applebees I don't even

are they trying to be chilis, that is a weird kind of aspirational

not gonna lie, in honor of this thread i put pepper jack on my bagel this morning

how much of a step above olive garden is bertucci's (if at all?) because i've eaten at bertucci's tons of times but have never been to olive garden in my life

I thought they were chicken wings! lol

Applebee's CEO is one of those I'll-have-to-fire-people-because-Obama-won motherfuckers.

not gonna lie, in honor of this thread i put pepper jack on my bagel this morning

the fact that i had pepper jack in the house probably speaks more ill about my current unemployment mindset than anything else

cracker barel is my of the class tho ive never been to cheesecake factory which is suposed to be the mfn bomb

I can imagine the aspirational chain Italian restaurant owner guy thinking, "We'll attract the foodies by having our name sound like that Italian director"

Cheesecake Factory is incredible right up until the point that you realize everything on the menu is disgusting, after which you will never, ever want to eat there again

the one time i ate at bertucci's was a little satyricon esque yes

this is the secret of all those casual dining chains, theyre wildly expensive, ever been to applebees goddamn

yeah for a lot of people it seems like this is kinda 'a night out' experience

ive never been to cheesecake factory either. so many missed chain food experiences in my life

Cheesecake Factory is kind of... amazing. Everything is a well-tested bomb of flavor, portions are huge, and the menu has ADVERTISEMENTS in it. Like car ads or something inside the cover

cheesecake factory is fine

ribs from applebees I don't even

are they trying to be chilis, that is a weird kind of aspirational

When I worked at an Applebee's about 10 years ago, they sold ribs.

bertucci's is gross but the rolls are fucking awesome

Cheesecake factory is ridiculous and serves you enough food for like 4 meals forget about one but Iatee's right - it's fine.

I really don't mind Cheesecake Factory! I'll probably end up going before the holidays with my mom for lunch when we hit the mall, but we sit at the bar and share an appetizer. They got a pretty great liquor selection.

See? You guys have not yet hit The Cheesecake Factory Breaking Point. It's a sad, sad day when that happens, you don't even want their cheesecake anymore (which is still genuinely delicious)

how's life has been holding out on us

There is this four cheese pasta thing that is straight up amazing.

guys let's not steer this thread too far off course okay

California Pizza Kitchen can fuck off from the jump, tho

I only had the cheesecake once - I was disappointed!

bertuccis used to be a kinda legit boston pizza chain when i was a kid didnt realize they went full on casual dining chain rip

lol DJP you're thinking of the cambridgeside and its shitty food options

picture of Fieri's sister-remembrance tattoo is... a thing

and yeah CPK is not good

SORRY STRONGO

best chain in Boston = the 99
2nd best = Pizzeria Regina

yeah I mean their portions and calories are what they are but its not like the food itself is revolting, whereas lots of these places the 2000 calorie entree actually doesn't even taste good

there are many chain restaurant threads. this...this is what this one is all about.

bertuccis used to be good but seriously lost its way

best chain in Boston = the 99

This has got to be a fucking joke.

I am a guy who regularly douses himself in soy sauce but even I was all

when I went to applebee's and outback this year

THE 99?!

i've def been to worse places than the 99

strongo I hope this thread and your ensuing trip to Guy's Whatever Restaurant results in an exciting new round of updates to strongo's nuevo cuisine

ok yeah most of my bertucci's eating was back in the 90s when i was a kid, havent been recently except for take-out pizza and wld not be surprised if it sucks now that they've gone big

CAD I'm not sure that I have but maybe I just had a particularly horrific experience.

ew my god that cheese steak picture puke

was just trying to gauge olive garden's quality via comparison, out of curiosity
