Applebees, maybe TGI Friday, is advertising this healthy pub food shit. I crack up everytime I see it. Never in the history of guys have we gone out for a meal and beer and someone orders up a fucking grilled chicken breast with quinoa.

We all laugh too. If I'm spending my money on horse-feed I'm cooking it myself.

I haven't seen this specific advertisement, but I routinely go out and order healthy stuff when watching football or whatever. A few bottles of miller lite + grilled chicken sandwich means I can have an enjoyable night out with my buddies and keep it under 800 calories or so.

The only redeeming factor was you could tell it was real beef and not some grey patty filled with oatmeal like mcdonalds or whatever. Plus it was slightly burnt, so it may be better if cooked properly (asked for medium, which is about as low as I'll go at any chain restaurant)

Depending what state you're in many chains won't risk anything under medium well/well =/

The T-Bell crunch wrap sliders must vary from location to location. I had the spicy chicken. How can you go wrong with Fritos, cheese, chicken, andVolcano Sauce? It was awesome.

I had the pineapple burger from their new burger selections and I was fairly unimpressed. I think that's saying something, since I'm one of the most easy-to-please people when it comes to food. That said, in terms ofchainburgers I would put it up near the top and I think it beat any burgers from non-burger chains. The only chain burgers I'd put over the new Applebee's ones would be from chains that specialize in burgers, such as Red Robin.

My triple bacon burger significantly better than most of the Red Robin burgers I've had and I love Red Robin. Maybe I just lucked out.

I also ordered mine medium rare because if you order anything else all you get is grey meat. Besides, ordering medium rare at a chain other than Outback is basically the same as well done anywhere else.

Went for round 2 of the Renfro's salsa and fuck it still kicked my ass. I was chugging milk out the carton straight. Think I may just have to toss it. Fuck me.

TGIF's is one of my favorite guilty pleasures, I went in there the other day for the first time in years and got a burger, it was the most bland thing I've ever eaten. It seriously had no flavor at all and was just texture, salt and pepper couldn't even save it. I was seriously perplexed by how a burger with so many toppings could have no taste.

I always get my burgers medium and my steaks medium rare.

I eat my steak rare and unfortunately my burgers well done. Ground beef not cooked enough is food poisoning waiting to happen. Sure you can eat it raw but you need to be sure the kitchen knows what the hell they are doing. I don't trust most places unless they specifically serve raw ground beef. Even then, I'd rather not chance it most of the time. Food poisoning sucks.

I've never had food poisoning. I eat burgers rare when they'll actually pay attention. I order them rare, but often they come out done. It's either some kind of policy of misleading the customer or cook inattentiveness, but annoying either way.

Of course I eat what others consider rotting fruit, old milk, taco bell, and food off the ground. I'm disgusting. I might be resistant to rancid beef.

Are you Canadian? I found out recently they freak out over less-than-well-done ground beef. You can't even order a medium burger in Canada.

I get better burgers at Farmer Boys than more expensive chains. They have the Big Cheese burger combo for 6 bucks, well worth it.

I'm more interested in that wrapper... My Bell still uses the full thing that forces me to unwrap and unfold, this looks perfect. Hah they look like potato chip bags.
