Applebees FREE Food Sampling Event, July 21st + Gift Card GIVEAWAY!

I was invited as a guest of Applebee’s to a media sampling event to try the new menu items. All opinions are my own.

applebees taste the change**Want more deals?  Find me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!***

Tomorrow July 21, 2015, Applebee’s is giving everyone FREE FOOD during their Applebee’s Taste The Change event! The best part is that there is NO PURCHASE necessary (of course, how could you not get some of their other yummy food??)!

To snag this deal all you need to do is visit your local Applebee’s and they will give you an appetizer to try out. You can pick either their NEW Sriracha Shrimp or their NEW Churro S’mores. I tried both of these appetizers last week and they were simply amazing. Since I personally prefer spicy over sweet, the Sriracha Shrimp were my favorite. They are so good!

applebees taste the change

The Sriracha Lime Shrimp is coated with a light and flaky coating, and has a Sriracha Lime sauce. While it’s on the spicy size side, my mom who doesn’t like too much spice said it was the perfect temperature for her. The Churro S’mores offer twisted cinnamon churro twists with a warm dipping sauce that has a layer of chocolate on the bottom and is covered in roasted marshmallows. It’s a light dessert and not too sweet.

At the Applebee’s tasting that I attended last week, I also sampled a couple other Applebee’s menu items.

applebees taste the change event 2015
Triple Hog Dare Ya: What a fun name for a great sandwich! This two-handed sandwich is stacked high with pulled pork, Black Forest ham, thick sliced bacon, crispy onions and melted cheddar cheese.  It’s then all carefully layered on a Ciabatta bun. This is not the type of sandwich I’d normally order but after sampling, it is now! It’s delicious!

Maple Bacon Chicken Piadini: This wrap offers a cedar-seasoned chicken, thick-sliced bacon, cheddar cheese and a sweet and savory maple mustard held together in a unique Paidini wrap. It’s finished off on the grill. The taste was superb and it was a light yet filling sandwich. Pefect for lunch or dinner.

Did you know? All sandwiches and burgers come with FREE refills of fries or their new house chips. So tasty!

Applebees taste the change
Don’t have plans tomorrow? Come out and celebrate Applebee’s ENTIRE NEW menu. There are many new items as well as your old favorites. Applebee’s is making their new menu to be all about flavor with high quality ingredients, so ENJOY!

It gave us the suspense and twists we were hoping for! 👀  The movie stayed impressively close to the story, and @dakotajohnson, @annehathaway, and Josh Hartnett brought these characters to life. If you loved the book, add this to your movie list. If you haven’t read it, buckle up! 🍿  #VERITYFilm hits theaters October 2, but you can see it early in Cleveland!

We started with Taco Tuesday, tacos and margaritas on special, obviously! 🌮🍹 Then we headed over for this spunky, hilarious show!  This was my THIRD time seeing BEETLEJUICE, and it’s a delight every single time! The music is so much fun, and “Day-O,” which closes Act 1, is still one of my favorite numbers. There is SO much happening onstage that it’s impossible to take it all in. I notice something new every time!  The story follows Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager who encounters a recently deceased couple and one very kooky demon. Beneath all the laughs, the show explores grief and loss in a surprisingly heartfelt and lighthearted way. 👻  I highly recommend this show! There is one final Akron performance tonight, September 23!  The 2026–27 Broadway in Akron series also includes:  🎭 BEETLEJUICE — September 22–23, 2026
🎭 THE BODYGUARD — October 27–28, 2026
🎭 A BEAUTIFUL NOISE — March 16–17, 2027
🎭 THE WIZ — April 26–27, 2027  Thanks for the invite, @Playhousesquare 💚  #BroadwayAkron #Beetlejuice #ClevelandCreator #OhioFun
