Applebees Happy Hour - cheap drinks, 1/2 price appetizers
Last night my friend and I went to Applebees for happy hour. Pre-surgery I used to get $2.50 Crown and Cokes (or Pepsi), but last night I got tequila sunrises. I know - Orange juice has sugar, but it's way better than Coke!!
To eat, I used to get the spinach/artichoke dip and chips and could eat the whole thing by myself. Last night someone down the bar got that and I was in awe. I couldn't even eat a fourth of that now! Our tradition was going there to eat and drink for CHEAP! So I didn't want to order off the main menu. On the side menu they had Red Beans and Rice, the picture looked like these big beans on top of rice so I ordered the beans only, no rice. They brought me out this little oval bowl of mostly liquid with a few TINY beans in it. I ate the couple of little beans in it but left the liquid. It was no where near enough, even with my tiny 32 bougie tummy. So I went back to the menu and ordered the Boneless Southern BBQ Wings. I was able to cut off a lot of the fried outside and just eat the inner chicken. That ended up being pretty good and three-and-a-half pieces were plenty to eat. Unfortunately the tequila sunrises were very weak on the tequila and heavy on the OJ. I'll have to find another drink next time I go there.
