## Resource

Applebees reintroduces their all-you-can-eat protein deal, now featuring boneless wings, riblets, fried shrimp, and fries for $16. The chain aims to capitalize on the high-protein trend, despite experts suggesting most people already consume enough protein. The promotion comes as Applebees parent company, Dine Brands, reports higher revenue and plans for more combo Applebees and IHOP locations. The CEO attributes the push for protein-focused meals to budget-conscious customers feeling the impact of rising gas prices and living costs.
