I think Applebees might be the chain at which I have had the most varied experiences, from really really atrocious, to almost "Well that was OK for the money."

I found a pretty good box wine, the Costco Kirkland California Cab.

Like many of you, I half-survived on Taco Bell in college, and so it will always have a special place in my heart.  

There's a Taco Bell inside Memorial Stadium here in Austin, and about the only time I ever get Taco Bell, is at Texas football games.  But, I do it EVERY single football game.  It's nostalgic, I suppose.

The wife likes that as well as their Kirkland Pinot Grigio. And the advantage of boxed wine is that it doesn't go bad after you "open" it, so if she wants to have a glass a night during the week there's no pressure to finish it quickly before it goes off.

I'm old enough that we had no Taco Bell when I was in college.  I remember we had a Red Lobster in town, and if the parents visited, they'd take me there, it was dining high on the hog to go there.  There might have been a TB in Chapel Hill.

Been avoiding it, while picking up the Kirkland Washington State cab (don't like the Kirkland Alexander Valley cab), but now I'll have to try the boxed version.

My wife's "daily" Cab is Unruly, which is available at BevMo on their 5 cent wine sale, so it's 13.95 for a bottle but a second for 0.05 more. I.e. it's a $7 bottle of cab. 

Unruly is not a cab you'd write home about, but it's good enough for the price point and isn't a headache in a bottle. 

She considers the Kirkland in the same quality tier as the Unruly, but at $12.99 for 3L, it's a great value.

I bought a case of the Kirkland "Oakville" cab and wish I had bought more.

I then bought a case of the Kirkland Stag's Leap Cab and so far wish I'd bought less.

Stag's Leap is probably my favorite US subapp.

Yeah Taco Bell started in Cali in 1962, and took some years to expand westward.  We had one near my house growing up in Austin in the 70s/80s, but the chain certainly wasn't as ubiquitous then, as it is now.

They're not as ubiquitous now as they will be...

Indeed, that's 2032, so I guess the Franchise Wars will occur sometime in the next 12 years...

Plastic jug vodka is a good thing to avoid under almost all conditions.
