That doesn't even look appealing or appetizing!

Edited to add: Haven't been to an Applebee's in years, there aren't any closer than about an or more away. And what the heck do they mean by O-M?

I don't see the food ads any more. Makes it easier to avoid those pesky triggers.

If I were dining out, I wouldn't order that, but by golly, when I saw the picture, i wanted it. Because cheese
