Did you know? The term 'butler' originated from the Old French word 'bouteillier,' meaning 'cup bearer' or 'bottle holder.'

"Fancy like Applebee's on a date night,
Got that Bourbon Street steak and an Oreo shake
With some whipped cream, on the top too,
2 straws one check, girl I got you..."
Do you always sing along with Walker Hayes' song...Fancy Like?
Now Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar is leaning into this earworm, with a Date Night Subscription Pass. $200 gets you up to 52 "Date Nights" of up to $30 each.
Not surprisingly the subscription was a hit, apparently selling out in 30 seconds, and nearly crashing Applebee's website. It's not known how many passes were actually sold, and many consumers feel hoodwinked. The offer was rich and the demand is definitely there.
Other restaurants have experimented with varying degrees of success with subscriptions (remember the Taco Bell Taco Lovers Pass?).
It makes sense to me. A susbcription (or a premium membership) can smooth out cashflow for the restaurant, drive preference and habits with consumers, and create some buzz too.
(Normally, I'd share an article, but today, I'm sharing the song, for your enjoyment!)

Today I posted a new article and video discussing Issa Rae's show "Insecure" and how it - and her actions on and off camera - act as an excellent example of active preservation.
While ordinances and designation are essential tools, we would be very remiss to forget that the best way to protect a place is to ensure that it can survive in the form in which it exists. If it's a restaurant, eat there. If it's a shop, shop there. If it's a community you love, live there if you can, or at least visit and be active in it. Do what you can to ensure the places you love can survive, regardless of designation. Put your money where your mouth is.
