Endless Apps or Ending Apps?

The TGI Friday’s in Bridgewater used to bring the love with a strong variety of appetizers. Not any more.

TGI Friday’s has been offering a great deal: endless appetizers. It requires the customer to pay just $15 for an unlimited amount of appetizers. The portions are small, but with an uncapped amount of food, and a variety of options, the deal is a great one. The appetizers include nachos, quesadillas, fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, potato skins, boneless wings, pot stickers, meatballs, barbeque chicken flatbread and more. Endless apps has certaintly received lots of praise and attention.

Sounds perfect, right?

Wrong.

The Endless Appetizers promotion is nothing but deceiving. Fridays still offers a good deal, but where has the variety gone? The large selection from the past has disappeared, and now Fridays only offers boneless wings, mozzarella sticks, pot stickers, and meatballs. With such a limited offering, the deal is already less exciting.

“I guess I’ll have to keep ordering the pot stickers, but I’m really mad I can’t get the barbeque chicken flatbread,” sophomore William Shokoff said. “Without the variety, I don’t see how TGI Fridays is any better than the half priced appetizers offered at Applebee’s.”

Also, the wait between appetizers is way too extensive. By the time the next order comes out of the kitchen, you are already almost full.

So, next time you want to watch the game with friends or just go out for a bite, avoid TGI Fridays. The popular restaurant only illuminates the age old aphorism, nothing good lasts.
