Applebee's

Some of the more popular recipes are from the American-style casual dining chain restaurant, Applebee's. The original restaurant was opened in 1980 and since then has expanded to over 2,000 locations nationwide. They have lots of signature dishes such as the walnut blondie dessert, Santa Fe stuffed chicken, and their "perfect margarita".

If you've been to a shopping mall in recent years you've probably seen the famous pretzel shop, Auntie Anne's. They make a delicious, large soft pretzel that is served with a dipping sauce. We've got a copy cat recipe for it that we think you'll love.
