I do like the Aztec Chicken Salad (when they have it)

but other than that, Applebees is just blah. I'll take Chili's over Applebees anyday.

and the only other thing I have to say is MMMMMMM Olive Garden.

I agree with you. I don't care for their food either.

I really don't like places like Applebees in general. Chilis, TGIF......you get the picture. I can't remember the last time I went into one of those type restaurants.

I also live in Austin though and am ridiculously spoiled with an abundance of insanely good local places.

I completely agree. I'm on this "support the local places or the entire country will be a giant chain restaurant" kick.

But if somebody put an amaretto sour or another drink in a sippy cup for me, I think I could live with it!

Local places use local products and consistently make better food than chain restaurants, but American's are lazy. They don't want to explore...they want to find the nearest McDonalds or Applebee's in any city they visit because they can get the same meal they always get! How boring!!!
