  • I just spent $14 for a barely mediocre soup and salad. As the food was nothing special, I had lots of time to think. Here's what I came up with: 1) If I was going to ASU this would be the place to hang out. Why? Because you don't seem to find freshmen here. It's close to the university, but not RIGHT on campus. What was all around me? Upper class-men. And what were they talking about? School. In one hour long lunch I know people's grades, which teachers are fair in several subjects, tricks to doing philosophy papers in Mr. What's his name's class, how to get into a particular program without an interview and a bevy of other university delights. I even heard someone getting a killer deal on a rental house and someone looking for housing. One stop shopping. 2) I hate that Applebee's is one of the only places I can safely go now that I've become a dreaded nutrition/calorie counter. Their Weight Watcher's menu let's me order in complete confidence. I actually have options! I took a friend to Essence the other day (Applebee's polar opposite in all ways, and one of my favorite places to go) and I was really stuck. There is no nutritional information. They have no idea which of their items have less calories. No idea of the sodium content of that chicken salad. I made a "I think this will work" guess, but I'm pretty sure I under estimated when I was attempting to over estimate. I love going to independently owned places. I miss it. I really really do. But today when I was just way more hungry than that frozen meal was going to solve Applebee's was my only safe option in the area. 3) This location's Weight Watcher meals aren't as good as some other locations. There shouldn't be a difference in a chain - but boy oh boy is there! 4) Other folks around me were happily devouring their food. A table of girls eating behind me was on their 2nd helpings of unlimited soup and salad for $5.99. I suppose the rest of their fare is fairly standard Applebee's stuff. 5) While I don't want to repeat this again any time soon, My guess is that I'll be back here at least once every 2 months because I want something beyond what I brought to work. Just the thought of it makes me a bit queasy. 6) If I'm willing to pay $14 for crappy soup and salad (for only 400 calories) in a crappy place, with crappy surroundings - why can't more independent places step up and offer some healthy options they can be proud of? Proud enough to post those nutritional numbers on the menu. Heavens knows I'm not the only one...
