I have no idea what you're talking about, but that won't stop me from having a very strong opinion about it!

[star seed 7]

Agree with op, guilty of it myself

Just read the section about this in To Kill a Mockingbird.

I don't like it when people make fun of people who eat at applebee's

Why do you assume people who eat at Applebee's are poor?

Why do you assume people who eat at Applebee's are poor?

I don't, I'm assuming people that make fun of people who eat at applebee's are (generally) whites of privilege

Ok. Without addressing that assumption, why don't you like it when [(generally) whites of privilege] make fun of people who eat at Applebee's?

I like their French onion soup and Asian chicken salad. Perfect lunch for me. Don't understand the haters.

the applebee's commercial that runs on repeat on hulu sings a song that says "that same old place that you laughed about"

i always lol. and then they show an image of a bowl of mashed potatoes covered in chicken strips, onion strings, and gravy and then i lol 2.0

Haven't been to Apple Bee's in years, but their Irresist-A-Bowls have my attention.

I’m a chili’s guy myself

If you say one bad word about Apple Bee's, well, now you've crossed the line.

It feels like an attempt to punch down/classism and I'm not a fan of punching down. Also people like what they like

There’s things that I like better at Applebee’s and there are some stuff I like better from Chili’s.

Agreed that people like what they like (and by extension, don't like what they don't like). Do you view everything through a classist lens, or just casual dining preferences?

Growing up, Applebee's was one of the "fancy" restaurants you would go to for birthdays, high school dances, etc., because there just weren't many other options. I didn't realize until moving to larger cities that Applebee's was not fine dining.

Coronavirus is going to take away $1 LITs for the month of December at 'bees. This pandemic is a menace.

The acts I committed against all-you-can-eat riblets border on genocide

[star seed 7]

I associate Applebee's with the country high school kids surrounding Topeka who would pack it on the weekend for date night.

So gross, those things tasted like salt peter.

[ben ji]

Everything at applebee's is microwaved. Like everything, its basically fancy TV dinners.

No

Like it wasn't even on my radar for fine dining. I don't even know when Wichita got one, I'm guessing it was on the fancy east side

[DQ12]

Applebees has awesome fries.

This feels like big city boys punching down on small town boys. All the rich kids would go to Wichita to eat at Macaroni Grille or Olive Garden. For the rest of us, it was Applebee's or crap on a shingle.

[michigancat]

Actually, fancy in the vein of Applebee's for me was Willie C's cafe or Amarillo Grill (their flavor was unique because they cooked with mesquite).
