What does the sophisticated Applebee's customer buy?


I'm not sure what is left these days. The casual family dining places have all redone their menus for the worse. Longhorns used to have shaved Parmesan on their salads, but last time I went, it was Parmesan powder from a bottle! Applebee's went downhill majorly since the early 2000's as well after their menu redesign.


They order from Applebee's secret menu, which is centered around obscure cuts of locally raised meats that are prepared slowly using sous-vide and finished with pan-searing.


True facts: all Chipotle pork is cooked sous vide, and (last I checked) in Chicago.


The wife and I love Chipotle. I had no idea they cooked the pork and barbacoa in Chicago.
