Applebee's breaks the internet: Are chain restaurants back from the dead?

For years, millennials have been accused of killing chain restaurants. Now, it looks like they might be bringing them back.

This week, the “Something Offbeat” podcast takes a look at Applebee’s internet-breaking” date night pass – offering 52 meals for just $200 – and how it fits in to the chain restaurant resurgence.

Eater’s Amy McCarthy has had her eye on the trend since October. She joined the show to explore why more people are heading to spots like Olive Garden and Quizno’s lately.
