Applebee’s: Down 31%. Ouch!

The people over at Jalopnik noticed:

Thanks for remembering this. I was eight when I saw the movie, and I was jarred by the transition from innocent man struggling and terrified as he is pushed in front of a train to bumbling Otis and his hot dog.

The sand was destined to be a coffee replacement at a fine restaurant outside Chicago.

Concur. There’s a reason the crispy chicken tacos are 99 cents. They are chewy and the honey-mango sauce is an overly sweet jelly spread that likely just hides the lack of chicken flavor. I love the grilled chicken soft tacos.

I am intrigued by the burrito with crinkle-cut fries and sour cream. I wonder if it can be…

Have the authorities contacted the Banzai Institute?

Let’s take it way back. In September of 2010, a Pop-Tarts World pop-up store appeared just off Times Square on 42nd Street.* One of the menu items offered was Pop-Tarts sushi, which was crumbled pop-tarts wrapped up inside Fruit Roll-Up ‘nori’.

“Is that true, Bambi?  Did you do a Disney nasty?”

A couple I left out:

Good question! Here are the calorie totals for chicken sandwiches based on the nutritional information on restaurant websites:

This is really strange. I don’t use the 3rd party delivery services, but wasn’t there an article on the Takeout previously where restaurants like Chili’s and Applebee’s were also hosting ghost restaurants like “Neighborhood Wings” which had food available only through delivery. It’s like they want to be several…

Marvel Studios needs to really go for it and hire James Incandenza to write and direct some anti-confluential superhero movies, if they want to challenge their audiences. Just 45 minutes of Delphyne Gorgon fighting the Grey Gargoyle inside a packed movie theater, neither gaining the upper hand, but slowly turning…

I’ve had the McDonald’s chicken sandwich twice now, and each time the meat had that stringy, chewy quality you get when you freeze a fresh chicken breast for too long. It was the same McDonald’s franchise, so maybe they just don’t take good care of their chicken patties.

“Welcome to Fred’s Fish and Game. I’m Jim. What can I help you with today?”

“Supplies, Motherfucker!”

Bring back the Arby’s Super! This was a roast beef sandwich with shred lettuce and tomato, and it was delicious when covered in Arby’s Sauce. I like a lot of toppings on a burger instead of just a meat and cheese brick, and the lettuce and tomatoes provided a nice cool crunch to contrast the slimy roast beef product.…

There’s a rapidly expanding chain called Dave’s Hot Chicken whose concept seems to be “Cane’s, but with Nashville hot chicken and pickles”, including having a special sauce. They are pretty good.

Keep an eye out for Dave’s Hot Chicken. I just had my first one recently. It’s like Cane’s, but with Nashville hot chicken with seven different spice levels. They also have a Canes/ Chik-Fil-A style sauce for the sandwiches. They are mostly in Southern California, but seem to be expanding rapidly with the country’s…

Well, you can already buy a beer from streetcorner vending machines in Rome, so this just makes good sense.

These five books look interesting, but I think you’re letting the most important one go under the radar:  
A Bathroom Book For People Not Pooping Or Peeing But Using The Bathroom As An Escape by Joe Pera (May 25, Forge Books)
