It was bland. Maybe what we got were the worst pickin's. The visual presentation was impressive though, I guess he hopes some people might taste with their eyes. Garnishing only goes so far IMO. Perhaps I just expected too much? Applebee's blows nuts (though I haven't made a return visit since high school...10yrs ago) But both Chili's and Outback have certain items that are tasty...Applebee's probably does too if I gave them a chance. There are very few places I know of that have absolutely nothing on the menu that I would eat. Only fast foods come to mind. I guess I'm only a half-assed food snob, oh well.
